Question 33: NCERT Class 12th Physics: Chapter 1 – Electric Charges And Fields
A particle of mass m and charge (-q) enters the region between the two charged plates initially moving along x-axis with speed vx.The length of plate is L and an uniform electric field £ is maintained between the plates. Show that the vertical deflection of the particle at the far edge of the plate is qEL2/
Solution:
Let the point at which the charged particle enters the electric field, be origin O (0, 0), then after travelling a horizontal displacement L, it gets deflected by displacement y in vertical direction as it comes out of electric field. So, co-ordinates of its initial position are x1 = 0 and y1 = 0 and final position on coming out of electric field are
and of initial velocity are ux = vx and uy = 0 so, by 2nd equation of motion in horizontal direction,
This gives the vertical deflection of the particle at the far edge of the plate.
