1. A negatively charged particle (mass m = 1.50 x 10-28 kg) with unknown charge enters the region of a uniform electric field as shown in the figure, with initial velocity of vi=3.00x106 m/s. The plates have a potential difference of 8.00 V and plate separation is 4.00 cm. The horizontal length of the plates is l=10.0 cm. Determine the charge of the particle, q if the point where it leaves the field region is h=3.00 cm in vertical below the point where it enters the field region as shown in the figure.

Step 1
First, we need to find the time it takes for the particle to travel the horizontal length of the plates (l). Since the horizontal velocity (vi) is constant, we can use the formula: time = distance / velocity t = l / vi Show more…

A small object with mass $m$, charge $q$, and initial speed $v_0 = 5.00 \times 10^3$ m$/$s is projected into a uniform electric field between two parallel metal plates of length 26.0 cm ($\textbf{Fig. P21.78}$). The electric field between the plates is directed downward and has magnitude $E =$ 800 N$/$C. Assume that the field is zero outside the region between the plates. The separation between the plates is large enough for the object to pass between the plates without hitting the lower plate. After passing through the field region, the object is deflected downward a vertical distance $d =$ 1.25 cm from its original direction of motion and reaches a collecting plate that is $56.0 \space cm$ from the edge of the parallel plates. Ignore gravity and air resistance. Calculate the object's charge-to-mass ratio, $q/m$.
