An electron with kinetic energy of 2000 eV (1 eV = 1.602 x 10-19 J) is fired horizontally across a horizontally oriented conducting plate with a surface charge density + 4.00 x 106 C/m2. Taking the positive direction to be upward (away from the plate), what is the vertical deflection of the electron after it has travelled a horizontal distance of 4.00 cm?

    Answer: 1.257 X 10∧-10 g

    Explanation: Kinetic energy, K. E. = 1.602 X 10∧-19 J

    Distance, L = 4/100 = 0.04 m

    ∴ Area, L² = (0.04 m) ² = 4 X 10∧-4 m²

    Charge density, Q = 4 X 10∧6 C/m²

    Velocity, C = Q X L² = 4 X 10∧6 X 4 X 10∧-4 = 1.6 X 10³ m/s

    Using, K. E. = 1/2MC² (where M = mass)

    ∴ M = 2 X 1.609 X 10∧-19 / (1.6 X 10³) ² = 2 X 1.609 X 10∧-19 / (2.56 X 10∧6)

    M = 1.609 X 10∧-19 / (1.28 X 10∧6)

    ∴ M = 1.257 X 10∧-13 Kg (or 1.257 X 10∧-10 g)
