Charged Ball Between Tilted Plates Returns to Hole

Two parallel metal plates $A$ and $B$ carrying equal and opposite charges are placed in vacuum, tilted at angle $\theta$ above the horizontal. A small charged ball of mass $m = 1$ g and charge $q = 1.41 \times 10^{-4}$ C enters the field through a hole $P$ on plate $A$ with horizontal velocity $v_0 = 0.1$ m/s. After $t = 0.02$ s in the field, the ball has not touched plate $B$ and has returned to point $P$. Take $g = 10\ \mathrm{m/s^2}$.

  1. Find the magnitude of the electric field strength between the plates.
  2. Find the angle $\theta$ between the plates and the horizontal.

Three Charged Balls Falling Between Parallel Plates

Three small balls of equal mass --- one positively charged, one negatively charged, and one uncharged --- are launched with the same velocity from point $P$ between two charged horizontal parallel plates, perpendicular to the electric field direction. The upper plate is negative and the lower plate is positive. The three balls land at points $A$, $B$, $C$ on the positive (lower) plate, with $A$ being the farthest horizontal distance from $P$, then $B$, then $C$ (closest to $P$). Gravity is included.

  1. Which ball is positively charged? Which is negatively charged?
  2. Are the times of flight in the field equal for the three balls? Are their kinetic energies upon reaching the positive plate equal? If not equal, which is greatest and which is least?

Electron Deflection Through Parallel-Plate Capacitor

As shown, an electron enters a uniform electric field at point $A$ with velocity $v_0 = 10^{6}$ m/s, directed perpendicular to the field. The electron exits at point $B$ with its velocity at an angle of $30^\circ$ relative to the entry direction. The electron has charge $e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19}$ C and mass $m = 9.1 \times 10^{-31}$ kg.

  1. Find the kinetic energy of the electron at point $B$.
  2. Find the potential difference $U_{AB}$ between points $A$ and $B$.

Voltage Range for Particle to Exit Parallel Plates

A charged particle of mass $m = 5 \times 10^{-8}$ kg enters horizontally at the central midline between two horizontal parallel metal plates $A$ (top) and $B$ (bottom) with initial speed $v_0 = 2$ m/s. The plate length is $l = 0.1$ m and the plate separation is $d = 2 \times 10^{-2}$ m. When $U_{AB} = 1000$ V, the particle traverses the field along a straight horizontal line. Take $g = 10\ \mathrm{m/s^2}$.

  1. Determine the sign and magnitude of the particle's charge.
  2. If the potential difference $U_{AB}$ is adjustable, what range of $U_{AB}$ allows the particle to exit between the plates without striking either plate?
