An electron of mass m_e and charge e is projected with a speed v making an angle with respect to the top electrode of a parallel plate capacitor as shown in the figure. Considering only the effect of the downward constant electric field E on the electron's motion, which of the following statements is correct.
Options
- AElectron moves along trajectory C with a time of flight given by (m_e v / e E ) ^2 .
- BElectron moves along trajectory C with a maximum horizontal displacement given by (m_e v^2 2 ) / e E .
- CElectron moves along trajectory A with a horizontal displacement given by v 2 d m_e / e E .
- DElectron moves along trajectory B with a final velocity v parallel to the electrodes.
Correct answer
B. Electron moves along trajectory C with a maximum horizontal displacement given by (m_e v^2 2 ) / e E .
