A uniform electric field of 10NC−110N{C}^{- 1} is created between two parallel charged plates (as shown in figure). An electron enters the field symmetrically between the plates with a kinetic energy 0.5eV.0 . 5eV . The length of each plate is 10cm10cm. The angle (θ)( \theta ) of deviation of the path of electron as it comes out of the field is ______(in degree).

Step-by-step solution

A uniform electric field of 10N C ^ - 1 is created between two parallel charged plates (as shown in figure). An

Given here, kinetic energy 12e=12mux2⇒ux=em\dfrac{1}{2}e = \dfrac{1}{2}m{u}_{x}^{2} ⇒ {u}_{x} = \sqrt{\dfrac{e}{m}}

Acceleration of electron due to electric field is a=eEma = \dfrac{eE}{m}, where, ee is charge on electron.

Using equation of motion, s=uxt+12axt2s = {u}_{x}t + \dfrac{1}{2}{a}_{x}{t}^{2} along xx direction, we get

L=uxt+0(∵ax=0)⇒10×10−2=uxt⇒t=10−1ux....(1)L = {u}_{x}t + 0\left(∵ {a}_{x} = 0\right) ⇒ 10 \times {10}^{- 2} = {u}_{x}t ⇒ t = \dfrac{{10}^{- 1}}{{u}_{x}} . . . . \left(1\right)

Using equation of motion, vy=uy+ayt{v}_{y} = {u}_{y} + {a}_{y}t along y direction, we get

vy=0+eEmt=eEmt...(2){v}_{y} = 0 + \dfrac{eE}{m}t = \dfrac{eE}{m}t . . . \left(2\right)

From equation \left(1\right)and\left(2\right),wehave</p><p>, we have</p><p>{v}_{y} = \dfrac{eE}{m}\left(\dfrac{{10}^{- 1}}{{u}_{x}}\right)</p><p>Now,</p><p>Now,tan\theta = \dfrac{{v}_{y}}{{v}_{x}} = \dfrac{eE}{m}\left({10}^{- 1}{u}_{x}^{2}\right) = \dfrac{e \times 10 \times {10}^{- 1}}{m \times \dfrac{e}{m}} = 1</p><p>Theangleofdeviationofthepathofelectronasitcomesoutofthefieldis</p><p>The angle of deviation of the path of electron as it comes out of the field is\theta = 45 °.
