Answer:
Maximum angle = 3.43⁰
Explanation:
Say that you are given the following information:
vertical distance between the charge plate = 0.03 m
length of the plate = 0.5 m
velocity of the electrons = 5 × 10⁶ ms⁻¹
the maximum angle is given by the formula:
[tex]tan\theta _{max} = \frac{d}{l}[/tex]
where d = vertical distance between the charge plate
l = length of the plate
substituting the values l and d gives:
[tex]tan\theta _{max} = \frac{0.03}{0.5}[/tex]
maximum angle, [tex]\theta _{max} = \frac{0.03}{0.5}[/tex]
[tex]\theta _{max} = tan^{-1} (\frac{0.03}{0.5} )[/tex]
= 3.43⁰
