A uniform electric field E=(8me)Vm−1E = \left(\dfrac{8m}{e}\right)V{m}^{- 1} is created between two parallel plates of length 1m1m as shown in figure, (where m=m = mass of electron and e=e = charge of electron). An electron enters the field symmetrically between the plates with a speed of 2ms−12m{s}^{- 1}. The angle of the deviation \left(θ\right) of the path of the electron as it comes out of the field will be _____ .

A uniform electric field E = ((8m)/(e))V m ^ - 1 is created between two parallel plates of length 1m as shown in

Options

  1. Atan⁡−1(4)\tan^{- 1}\left(4\right)
  2. Btan⁡−1(2)\tan^{- 1}\left(2\right)
  3. Ctan⁡−1(13)\tan^{- 1}\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)
  4. Dtan⁡−1(3)\tan^{- 1}\left(3\right)

Correct answer

B. tan⁡−1(2)\tan^{- 1}\left(2\right)

Step-by-step solution

A uniform electric field E = ((8m)/(e))V m ^ - 1 is created between two parallel plates of length 1m as shown in

Time taken by the electron to cross will be, t=1vx=12st = \dfrac{1}{{v}_{x}} = \dfrac{1}{2}s.

Acceleration of the electron along yy axis

ag=Fm=Eem=8me×em=8ms−2{a}_{g} = \dfrac{F}{m} = \dfrac{Ee}{m} = \dfrac{8m}{e} \times \dfrac{e}{m} = 8m{s}^{- 2}

vy{v}_{y} of the electron when it has crossed the capacitor will be,

vy=ayt=8×12=4ms−1{v}_{y} = {a}_{y}t = 8 \times \dfrac{1}{2} = 4m{s}^{- 1}

Therefore,

tanθ=vyvx=42=2⇒θ=tan⁡−1(2)tan\theta = \dfrac{{v}_{y}}{{v}_{x}} = \dfrac{4}{2} = 2 ⇒ \theta = \tan^{- 1}\left(2\right)
