Using Newton's second law and kinematic projectile motion we can find the proton deflection y = 5.43 10⁻⁷ m, in the opposite direction to the electron deflection.
given parameters
to find
For this exercise we will use Newton's second law where the force is electric
F = ma
F = q E
where F is the force, q the charge, E the electric field, m the mass and the acceleration of the particle
q E = m a
a = q / m E
This acceleration is the direction of the electric field that is perpendicular to the initial velocity (v_i)
Having the acceleration we can use the kinematics relations
If we make the direction of the initial velocity coincide with the x-axis
v_i = cte
v_i = x / t
t = x/ v_i
on the y-axis is in the direction of the electric field
y = v_{iy} t + ½ a t²
on this axis the initial velocity is zero
y = [tex]\frac{1}{2} (\frac{q}{m} E) \ t^2[/tex]
subtitute
y = (1)
Electron motion.
Let us propose the expression for the electron situation, the length of the displacement must be the same for electron and proton, suppose that it is x = L
In this case the charge q = -e and the mass m = m_e
its substitute in equation 1
y₁ = [tex]\frac{1}{2} \ ( \frac{-e}{m_e} E) \ \frac{x^2}{v_i^2}[/tex]
where y₁, is the lectron deflection.
Proton motion
Between the proton and the electron we have some relationships
q_p = -e
m_ = 1840 m_e
we substitute in the equation 1
y₂ = ½ e / 1840 me E x² / vi²
y₂ =
y₂ = - y₁ / 1840
y₂ = - 0.001 / 1840
y₂ = - 5.43 10⁻⁷ m
The negative sign indicates that the deflection of the proton is in the opposite direction to the deflection of the electron.
In conclusion they use Newton's second law and kinematics we can find the proton deflection is y = 5.43 10⁻⁷ m
