An electron of mass me and charge e* is fired horizontally with velocity v = 0.1c, where c = 3.00 x 108 m/s between the plates. Calculate the electron's acceleration. If the plates have length 1 m, find the electron's deflection from the horizontal when it emerges.

A uniform electric field exists in the region between two oppositely charged plane parallel plates.

In this example, we will analyze the motion of an electron that is released in an electric field. The terminals of a 100 V battery are connected to two large, parallel, horizontal plates 1.0 cm apart. The resulting charges on the plates produce an electric field E in the region between the plates that is very nearly uniform and has magnitude E = 3.0×104 N/C. Suppose the lower plate has positive charge, so that the electric field is vertically upward, as shown in (Figure 1). (The thin pink arrows represent the electric field.) If an electron is released from rest at the upper plate, what is its speed just before it reaches the lower plate? How much time is required for it to reach the lower plate?
