Consider a particle of charge q = 1.2 C and mass m = 1.2 kg passing through the region between a pair of infinitely long horizontal plates separated by a distance d = 1.5 m with a uniform electric field strength E = 38 N/C directed in the downwards direction (-y direction). The particle begins moving horizontally with an initial velocity of v = 35 m/s from a position halfway between the plates. How far in meters are the plates? Suppose that the electric field is directed upward instead of downward. Calculate the new horizontal distance, in meters, that the particle travels before striking one of the plates.

A particle of mass m and charge q enters a region of magnetic field, in a direction that is prependiuclar to the field boundary. The particle then exits the region in the opposite direction to the one it entered the field, 7.7 ms later. The distance between the point of entry and exit is 14.5 mm. If the particle is 4 times the mass of a proton, and carries 20 times the charge of a proton, what is the field...

The figure below shows an electron passing between two charged metal plates that create an 85 N/C vertical electric field perpendicular to the electron’s original horizontal velocity. (These can be used to change the electron’s direction, such as in an oscilloscope.) The initial speed of the electron is 2.60×106 m/s, and the horizontal distance it travels in the uniform field is 4.30 cm. What is its vertical deflection? What is the vertical component of its final velocity? At what angle...

In an inkjet printer,1 tiny drops of ink of inertia m are given a charge q and then fired toward the paper at speed v. They first pass between two charged plates of length l that create an (approximately) uniform electric field of magnitude E between them. The field direction is perpendicular to the plates and to the initial path of the drops. The electric field deflects each drop from its initial horizontal path and is used to control what...
