Physics

Electrons in a cathode ray tube start from rest and areaccelerated through a potential difference of 11.6 kV. They aremoving in the +x-direction when they enter the spacebetween the plates of a parallel plate capacitor. There is apotential difference of 320 V between the plates. The plates havelength 8.93 cm and are separated by 1.10 cm. The electron beam isdeflected in the negative y-direction by the electricfield between the plates.

  

where P = 8.93 and Q = 320.

What is the value of Δy, the vertical deflection?

Through what potential difference do the electrons move whilebetween the plates?

What is the kinetic energy of the electrons as they leave theplates?
