Electric Charges and Fields

One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.

A simple and common technique for accelerating electrons is shown in the figure below, where a uniform electric field is created between two plates. Electrons are released, usually from a hot filament, near the negative plate, and there is a small hole in the positive plate that allows the electrons to continue moving. O (a) Calculate the acceleration of the electron if the field strength is 7.96 x 10¹ N/C. m/s² (b) Why will the electron not be pulled back to the positive plate once it moves through the hole? O The force of gravity is too strong. The other side of the positive plate also has a negative charge. There is no field outside the plates.
