A uniform electric field is established between the plates
of a parallel plate capacitor by holding one plate at ground and
the other at a positive potential V as shown. A uniform magnetic
field B is established perpendicular to the electric field (Fig). A
charge −q is released from rest from the lower plate.
i) Write down the equations of motion for the
velocity components of the charge.
ii) Show that, at some time t later, the velocity
of the electron in the xdirection is related to the distance y
moved along the y-axis by vx = ωy
iii) By applying the conservation of energy or
otherwise to determine the square of the velocity in the x–y-plane,
show that
v2y= (2qv/md)y- ω2 y2
