Question
An electron is placed in a uniform electric field of 43 nN/C directed north created by two horizontal parallel plates that are 120 mm apart. The electron accelerates from rest, starting at the negative plate. What is the net force and acceleration acting on the electron? How long did it take the electron to get from one side of the plate to the other?
