- An electron starts from rest near the negative vertical plate of a set of parallel plates and accelerates towards the positive plate through 150 V. After crossing this distance the electron passes through a hole. The electron then moves through a horizontal set of parallel plates where the top plate is negative. These horizontal plates are separated by 2.0 cm and have a potential difference of 240 V. The electron passes through these plates undeflected due to a magnetic field perpendicular to the page. The electron then passes out of the plates where it is acted upon by the same uniform magnetic field.
