An electron enters a parallel plate apparatus 10cm long and 2.0cm wide, moving horizontally 8.0x10^7m/s. If the potential difference across the plates is 600V, determine the following:
(a) the vertical deflection of the electron from its original path
(b) the velocity with which it leaves the parallel plate apparatus, in both magnitude and direction
HINT: This problem may be treated the same as if you had a gravitational projectile whose motion is the resultant of uniform motion in the horizontal plane and uniform acceleration in the vertical plane.
