You are working on a research project in which you must control the direction of travel of electrons using deflection plates. You have devised the apparatus shown in the figure below. The plates are of length ℓ = 0.50 m and are separated by a distance d = 3.0 cm. Electrons are fired at vi = 5.0 ✕ 106 m/s into a uniform electric field from the left edge of the lower, positive plate, aimed directly at the right edge of the upper, negative plate. Therefore, if there is no electric field between the plates, the electrons will follow the broken line in the figure. With an electric field existing between the plates, the electrons will follow a curved path, bending downward.

(a) Determine the range of angles (in degrees) over which the electron can leave the apparatus.

(b) Determine the electric field (in N/C) required to give the maximum possible deviation angle. (Enter the magnitude.) N/C

Problem 14: Suppose you have two parallel conducting plates that are separated by 2.2 mm. Part (a)What will the electric field strength between the plates be (in N/C) if they have a?  Part (b) The electric breakdown strength for a particular medium, also called the dielectric strength, is the point at which electrons bound to the molecules of the medium begin to be stripped off due to the large electric field. How close together must the plates be with this applied voltage in order to achieve breakdown strength for air (3.0 x 106 V/m) in mm?

An electron is projected with an initial speed 1.90×106 {\rm m/s}into the uniform field between the parallel plates in the figure .Assume that the field between the plates is uniform and directedvertically downward, and that the field outside the plates is zero.The electron enters the field at a point midway between the plates.The distance between the two plates is .01m and the length of theplates is .02m

If the electron just misses the upper plate as it emerges from thefield, find the speed of the electron as it emerges from the field?

A uniform, upward-pointing electric field E of magnitude 5.00×103N/C has been set up between two horizontal plates by charging thelower plate positively and the upper plate negatively. The plateshave length L = 4 cm and separation d = 2.00 cm. Electrons are shotbetween the plates from the left edge of the lower plate.
The first electron has the initial velocity v0, which makes anangle ?=45° with the lower plate and has a magnitude of 9.95×106m/s.

a) Will this electron strike one of the plates? If so, what is thehorizontal distance from the left edge? If not enter the verticalposition at which the particle leaves the space between the plates.I got answer 0.028 meters which is WRONG from using other Cramsterposts so if someone could please show me another way to get anotheranswer.

b) Another electron has an initial velocity which has the angle?=45° with the lower plate and has a magnitude of 8.26×106 m/s.Will this electron strike one of the plates? If so, what is thehorizontal distance from the left edge? If not enter the verticalposition at which the particle leaves the space between the plates.
