A simple and common technique for accelerating electrons is shown in the figure, where there is a uniform electric field between

two plates. Electrons are released, usually from a hot filament, near the negative plate, and there is a small hole in the positive plate that allows the electrons to pass through.
Calculate the horizontal component of the acceleration of the electron if the field strength is 2.55*10^4 N/C. Express your answer in m/s^2 and assume the electric field is pointing in the negative x-direction.

Answer : 4.483\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Electric field strength, E=2.55\times 10^{4}\ N/C

We know that,

Charge of electron, q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

Mass of electron, m=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg

From the definition of electric field, F=qE...............(1)

According to Newton's second law, F = ma..........(2)

From equation (1) and (2)

ma=qE

a=\dfrac{qE}{m}

a=\dfrac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C\times 2.55\times 10^{4}\ N/C }{9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg}

a=0.4483\times 10^{16}\ m/s^2

or

a=4.483\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2

So, the horizontal component of acceleration of an electron is 4.483\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2.

Hence, it is the required solution.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!! What displacement did the object undergo in the time interval between t= 2.0s and t=8.0s?
Katyanochek1 [597]
Displacement s = (u+v)*t/2 (t refers to delta time)
= (0.45 + 2.7)*6/2
= 3.15*3
= 9.45 m
