Two horizontal parallel plates are seperated by a distance of 175mm creating an electric field of 22µN/C directing north. An electron is place halfway between two plates with and fired initial velocity 57m/s from horizontal. Calculate the time it takes for the electron to land at the positive plate and its speed before hitting the plate.
