An electron with a horizontal speed of 2400000 m/s and no vertical component of velocity passes through two horizontal parallel plates, as shown. The magnitude of the electric field between the plates is 60 N/C. The plates are 6 cm long. Calculate the angle to the horizontal, θ (in degrees), that the electron would pass through the plates with. Be clear and show all your work.
