An electron accelerated from rest through potential difference V1 = 5 kV enters the gap between two parallel plates having separation d = 40 mm and potential difference V2 = 100 V. The lower plate is at lower potential. Assume the electric field between the plates is uniform and assume that the electron's velocity vector is perpendicular to the electric field vector between the plates. a. What is the direction of the uniform magnetic field (in unit of miliTesla) that allows the electron to travel in a straight line in the gap? (choose 1 for x direction, -1 for negative x direction, ±2 for ±y direction and ±3 for ±z direction.) b. What is the magnitude of this magnetic field (in units of mili-Tesla)?

An electron is traveling with initial kinetic energy K in a uniform electric field. The electron comes to rest momentarily after traveling a distance d. (a) What is the magnitude of the electric field? (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: e for the charge of the electron.) E = (b) What is the direction of the electric field? in the direction of the electron's motion opposite to the direction of the electron's motion perpendicular to the direction of the electron's motion (c) What If? Fluoride ions (which have the same charge as an electron) are initially moving with the same speed as the electrons from part (a) through a different uniform electric field. The ions come to a stop in the same distance d. Let the mass of an ion be M and the mass of an electron be m. Find the ratio of the magnitude of electric field the ions travel through to the magnitude of the electric field found in part (a). (Use the following as necessary: d, k, m, M, and e for the charge of the electron.) Enew Epart (a) =

In the figure below, a charged particle moves perpendicular to a uniform B-field (in a vacuum) and the magnetic field is the dominant factor determining the motion. The particle's kinetic energy and speed remain constant, and the direction of motion and speed are unaffected. Because the magnetic force is perpendicular to the direction of travel, the charged particle follows a curved path in the magnetic field. And the particle continues to follow this curved path until it forms a complete circle. The magnetic force is perpendicular to the velocity, where the velocity changes in direction and magnitude. The magnetic force is perpendicular to the velocity and velocity changes in direction not magnitude. In this situation, where a charged particle moves perpendicular to a uniform B-field (in a vacuum), the magnetic force supplies the centripetal force Fc = mv2 r. The magnetic force is always perpendicular to velocity, and it does no work on the charged particle. A negatively charged particle moves in the plane of the paper in a region where the magnetic field is perpendicular out of the paper.
