In a cathode-ray tube (CRT), an electron travels in a vacuum and enters a region between two "deflection" plates which have equal and opposite charges. The dimensions of each plate are L = 12 cm by d = 5 cm, and the gap between them is h = 2.5 mm. (Note: the diagram is not drawn to scale and the direction of the electric field may not be correct, depending on your randomization.) During a 0.001 s interval while it is between the plates, the change of the momentum of the electron ΔP is < 0, 9.60e-17, 0 > kg m/s.What is the electric field between the plates?

Question

In a cathode-ray tube (CRT), an electron travels in a vacuum and enters a region between two "deflection" plates which have equal and opposite charges. The dimensions of each plate are L = 12 cm by d = 5 cm, and the gap between them is h = 2.5 mm. (Note: the diagram is not drawn to scale and the direction of the electric field may not be correct, depending on your randomization.)

During a 0.001 s interval while it is between the plates, the change of the momentum of the electron ΔP is < 0, 9.60e-17, 0 > kg m/s.

What is the electric field between the plates?
