Question
An electron with a speed of 1.2 × 10^7 m/s moves horizontally into a region where a constant vertical force of 4.5 × 10^-16 N acts on it. The mass of the electron is 9.11 × 10^-31 kg. Determine the vertical distance the electron is deflected during the time it has moved 30 mm horizontally.
Correct Answer
Option D is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
The vertical deflection is 1.5 mm.
Hint
Treat horizontal and vertical motions independently using kinematics.
