Question: An electron is accelerated from rest in the electron gun of a cathode ray oscilloscope by a potential difference of 1.80 x 10 3 V.
An electron is accelerated from rest in the electron gun of a cathode ray oscilloscope by a potential difference of 1.80 x 103 V.
The electron then enters exactly half-way between two parallel and horizontal deflecting plates which are 4.00 cm apart and across which is applied a potential of 420.0 V.
The electric field between the plates deflects the electron from its straight line path down the axis of the tube into a parabolic path.
The electron travels ____________ cm horizontally before colliding with the positive plate.

+ electron gun A 4.00 cm 420.0 V 1800 V
