A particle of mass $m$ and charge $(-q)$ enters the region between the two charged plates initially moving along $x$ -axis with speed $v_{x}=2.0 \times 10^{6} \;m\, s ^{-1} .$ If $E$ between the plates separated by $0.5 \;cm$ is $9.1 \times 10^{2} \;N / C ,$ where will the electron strike the upper plate in $cm$?

$\left(|e|=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \;C , m_{e}=9.1 \times 10^{-31}\; kg .\right)$
Velocity of the particle, $v_{x}=2.0 \times 10^{6} \,m / s$
Separation of the two plates, $d =0.5\, cm =0.005\, m$
Electric field between the two plates, $E =9.1 \times 10^{2} \,N / C$
Charge on an electron, $q=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \,C$
Mass of an electron, $m _{ e }=9.1 \times 10^{-31} \,kg$
Let the electron strike the upper plate at the end of plate $L$, when deflection is s. Therefore,
$s=\frac{q E L^{2}}{2 m V_{x}^{2}}$
$\Rightarrow L=\sqrt{\frac{2 s m V_{x}^{2}}{q E}}$$=\sqrt{\frac{2 \times 0.005 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 9.1 \times 10^{2}}}$
$=\sqrt{0.00025}=0.016 \,m=1.6 \,cm$
Therefore, the electron will strike the upper plate after travelling $1.6 \;cm .$

An electron moving with the speed $5 \times {10^6}$ per sec is shooted parallel to the electric field of intensity $1 \times {10^3}\,N/C$.

An electron falls through a distance of $1.5\; cm$ in a uniform electric field of magnitude $2.0 \times 10^{4} \;N C ^{-1} \text {[Figure (a)]} .$ The direction of the field is reversed keeping its magnitude unchanged and a proton falls through the same distance [Figure $(b)] .$ Compute the time of fall in each case. Contrast the situation with that of 'free fall under gravity'.
