Charged particle entering the region between two parallel plates.
Charged particle entering the region between two parallel plates.
A small charged particle with mass \(m = 1.0 \times 10^{-4}\text{ kg}\) and charge \(q = +2.0\text{ }\mu\text{C}\) enters horizontally with an initial speed \(v_0 = 10\text{ m/s}\) midway between two parallel plates. The plates have length \(L = 10\text{ cm}\) and are separated by a vertical distance \(d = 5.0\text{ cm}\). A potential difference \(\Delta V = 500\text{ V}\) is maintained between the plates. Assuming gravitational effects are negligible, what is the vertical deflection of the particle as it exits the region between the plates?
