40 mm apart, pair of charged conducting plates produces a uniform field of 12,000N/C directed to the right, between the plates.

An electron is projected from plate A, directly toward plate B, with an initial velocity vo=1.0x107 m/s.  The closest approach of the electron to plate B is

Answer #1

Loss in kinetic energy = work done

Therefore ,

0.5*m*v^2 = charge of electron *field *distance travelled

0.5*9.11*10^-31*(1*10^7)^2 = 12000*1.6.10^-19*s

s = 23.7*10^-7 m = 24 mm.

So distance of closest approach = 40-24 = 16 mm
