Effect of a Uniform Electric Field on the Motion of Charged Particles
 

Effect of a Uniform Electric Field on the Motion of Charged Particles problem 3


An electron flies at an initial speed of 20,000 km/s into a homogeneous electric field of density 1 kV/cm. The direction of motion of the electron is the same as the direction of the electric field lines.

  • At what distance does the electron stop?

  • How does it move thereafter?


The charge of an electron is and the mass is .
