Question: An electron with charge Qe = 1.6 x 1019 C and mass me = 9.1 x 1031 kg is injected at a point adjacent to

An electron with charge Qe = 1.6 x 10–19 C and mass me = 9.1 x 10–31 kg is injected at a point adjacent to the negatively charged plate in the region between the plates of an air-filled parallel-plate capacitor with separation of 1 cm and rectangular plates each 10 cm2 in area Fig. 4-33 (P4.50). If the voltage across the capacitor is 10 V, find
(a) The force acting on the electron,
(b) The acceleration of the electron, and
(c) The time it takes the electron to reach the positively charged plate, assuming that it starts from rest.
