Exercise $27\mathrm{.}25-$ Enhanced $-$ with Solution

A $180$ V battery is connected across two parallel metal plates of area $28\mathrm{.}5c{m}^2$ and separation $9\mathrm{.}20$ mm $.$ A beam of alpha particles $($charge $+2e,$ mass $6\mathrm{.}64{10}^{-27}kg)$ is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of $1\mathrm{.}75$ kV and enters the region between the plates perpendicular to the electric field, as shown in $($Figure $1).$
