$A$ particle of mass $m$ and charge $(-q)$ enters the region between two charged plates,initially moving along the $x$-axis with speed $v_{x}$ (like particle $1$ in the Figure). The length of the plate is $L$ and a uniform electric field $E$ is maintained between the plates. Show that the vertical deflection of the particle at the far edge of the plate is $q E L^{2} / (2 m v_{x}^{2})$. Compare this motion with the motion of a projectile in a gravitational field.

An electron is released from the bottom plate $A$ as shown in the figure $(E = 10^4 \, N/C)$. The velocity of the electron when it reaches plate $B$ will be nearly equal to

$A$ problem of practical interest is to make a beam of electrons turn at a $90^{\circ}$ corner. This can be done with the electric field present between the parallel plates as shown in the figure. An electron with kinetic energy $8.0 \times 10^{-17} \ J$ enters through a small hole in the bottom plate. The strength of the electric field that is needed if the electron is to emerge from an exit hole $1.0 \ cm$ away from the entrance hole,traveling at right angles to its original direction,is $y \times 10^5 \ N/C$. The value of $y$ is

What is the magnitude of the upward electric field (in $V/m$) required to keep a coin of mass $10^{-6} \ kg$ and charge $10^{-6} \ C$ in equilibrium? (Take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)

An electron falls through a small distance in a uniform electric field of magnitude $2 \times 10^4 \ N C^{-1}$. The direction of the field is reversed keeping the magnitude unchanged and a proton falls through the same distance. The time of fall will be
