Electrons and Electric Fields
Not what you're looking for?
An electron (mass = 9.1 x 10^-31 kg and charge = -1.60 x 10^-19 C) is initially at rest just to the right of the leftmost plate. The separation between the two plates is 4.00 cm. A uniform electric field of 5000 N/C directed to the left is suddenly applied between the two plates. A) What is the force on the electron? B) What kinetic energy will the electron have when it strikes the other plate?
