Question : 7 of 16
Marks: +1, -0
An electron is moving with velocity voi. If a uniform electric field E=Eoj is set up in the region, the electron will:
Solution:  
The electron has an initial velocity along the x-direction (vx=v0).
The electric field is applied along the y-direction (Ey=E0).
The force acting on the electron is F=eE=eEoj.
This produces a constant acceleration in the y-direction (ay=eE0m), while the velocity along x remains unchanged.
Since x=vot and y=12ayt2, eliminating time gives yx2, which represents a parabolic trajectory.
The electron follows a parabolic path.
