Problem: A physicist has a device which produces a steady stream of identical charged particles with a mass of 9.0×10-7kg and an unknown electrical charge. This beam is fired horizontally into a region of uniform electric field and the value of E is adjusted until the beam travels perfectly straight (does not deflect downwards because of gravity). The value at which this occurs is E=5000 N/C downwards. From this information, determine (a) the charge (magnitude and sign) of the particles and (b) describe what happens to the energy of the {particle, field} system as the particles move. draw a sketch  show all mathematical equations    evalutaiton of all steps
