A uniform electric field is created by two horizontal parallel plate electrodes of length 10 cm separated by a vertical distance d = 5 cm and held at a potential difference V = 250V. A beam of electrons is introduced between the two plates with a horizontal velocity v = 5 x 106 m/s.
What is the deflection distance towards the positive plate when the electron beam leaves the electric field?
Select one:
a. 5.0 cm
