Question
An electron is projected with an initial speed v0 = 1.70×106 m/s into the uniform field between the parallel plates in (Figure 1). Assume that the field between the plates is uniform and directed vertically downward, and that the field outside the plates is zero. The electron enters the field at a point midway between the plates.
If the electron just misses the upper plate as it emerges from the field, find the magnitude of the electric field.
Express your answer in newtons per coulomb.
Suppose that in the figure the electron is replaced by a proton with the same initial speed v0v0. Would the proton hit one of the plates?
What would be the direction of proton's displacement?
displacement is upward |
displacement is downward |

The cylinder is an insulator and it is positively charged, the charge per unit of length is A. (Hint: because it is an insulator you should assume that the charge is spread uniformly across its entire volume). By reflecting on the symmetry of the charge distribution of the system, determine what a) the E-field lines look like around the cylinder. Describe the E-field in words and with a simple sketch. In order to give a complete description of the E-field lines make two sketches: i) one with a side view of the cylinder, ii) one with a cross-sectional view of the cylinder. Make sure to also show the direction of the E-field lines. b) (-- . the figure. Your goal for this part is to properly use Gauss' law to calculate the electric field at point P.
