1.(a) An electron starts at rest and accelerates through an electric field established by a set of parallel plates with a potential difference of 35 V. What is the speed of the electron the instant before it hits the negative plate?
(e =1.610-19 C, melectron =9.110-31 kg)(/6)
V=3.5110 to the power of 6 m/s
(b) Instead of hitting the negative plate, the electron, travelling East, escapes the parallel plates through a small hole and enters a magnetic field of 0.75 T directed downward. What will be the magnetic force (magnitude and direction) on the charge? F=4.211013N
(c) Once the electron has entered the magnetic field, it is in circular motion. What is the radius of the electrons circular path? r=2.66105m
