A parallel plate square capacitor with sides 10 cm in length are
separated by a 3.0 cm gap. The capacitor is connected to a 9.0 V
power supply. Once fully charged, the capacitor is disconnected
from the power supply. A dielectric, with dielectric constant K = 3.0
is inserted between the plates, filling the space between the plates.

to the polarization of the dielectric, Edielectric?
You are working on a research project in which you must control the direction of travel of electrons using deflection plates. You have devised the apparatus shown in the figure below.
The plates are of length ℓ = 0.250 m and are separated by a distance d = 1.38 cm. Electrons are fired at
vi = 5.20 ✕ 106 m/s
into a uniform electric field from the left edge of the lower, positive plate, aimed directly at the right edge of the upper, negative plate. Therefore, if there is no electric field between the plates, the electrons will follow the broken line in the figure. With an electric field existing between the plates, the electrons will follow a curved path, bending downward.
