A uniform electric field of 10NC−1 is created between two parallel charged plates (as shown in figure). An electron enters the field symmetrically between the plates with a kinetic energy 0.5eV. The length of each plate is 10cm. The angle (θ) of deviation of the path of electron as it comes out of the field is ______(in degree).

Solution
Given here, kinetic energy 21e=21mux2⇒ux=me
Acceleration of electron due to electric field is a=meE, where, e is charge on electron.
Using equation of motion, s=uxt+21axt2 along x direction, we get
L=uxt+0(∵ax=0)⇒10×10−2=uxt⇒t=ux10−1....(1)
Using equation of motion, vy=uy+ayt along y direction, we get
