A uniform electric field is created by two horizontal parallel plate electrodes of length 10 cm separated by a vertical distance d = 5 cm and held at a potential difference V = 250V. A beam of electrons is introduced between the two plates with a horizontal velocity v = 5 x 106 m/s. What is the deflection distance towards the positive plate when the electron beam leaves the electric field? Select one: a. 5.0 cm b. 3.5 cm c. 1.76 cm d. 8.8 mm
