Question: Two adjacent ( ideal ) parallel plate capacitors with given geometrical dimensions l 1 , l 2 and h , as shown schematically in Fig.

Two adjacent (ideal) parallel plate capacitors with given geometrical dimensions l1, l2 and h, as shown schematically in Fig. 1, are employed as a deflection system for the motion of particles of positive charge q and mass m. The upper capacitor plates are grounded (zero potential) while the lower plates can be maintained at desired controlling potentials V1 and V2. It is observed that the particle entering this system with the horizontal velocity v at point A, exits the system at point B, continuing to move strictly horizontally but displaced upward from the entry point by distance d. Find such V1 and V2(including their polarities) that were used to realize the described deflection effect on the particle in the plane of Fig. 1. Gravity effect is negligible.
