### Question:An electron beam in an oscilloscope is deflected by the electric field produced by oppositely charged metal plates. If the electric field between the plates is \(1.70 \times 10^5 \, \text{N/C}\) directed downward, what is the force on each electron when it passes between the plates?### Answer:\[2.72 \times 10^{-14} \, \text{N upward} \]### Explanation:This problem involves understanding how an electric field interacts with charged particles, such as electrons, in an oscilloscope. The electric field is given as \(1.70 \times 10^5 \, \text{N/C}\) and is directed downward. The force on each electron, given its charge, acts in the opposite direction of the electric field (upward), as indicated by the calculated force \(2.72 \times 10^{-14} \, \text{N}\) upward.No graphs or diagrams are provided in this problem.

Long highway tunnels must have air cleaners to remove dust and soot coming from passing cars and trucks. In one type, known as an electrostatic precipitator, air passes between two oppositely charged metal plates, as shown. The large electric field between the plates ionizes dust and soot particles, which then feel a force due to the field. This force causes the charged particles to move toward and stick to one or the other plate, removing them from the air. A typical unit has dimensions and charges asshown. What is the electric field between the plates?
