Parallel Plates Velocity of Electron

In summary, the Parallel Plates Velocity of Electron refers to the speed at which electrons move between two parallel plates in an electric field. It is calculated using the equation v = Ed/m, where v is the velocity, E is the electric field strength, d is the distance between the plates, and m is the mass of the electron. The velocity can be affected by factors such as the strength of the electric field, distance between plates, mass of the electrons, temperature, and other particles. It is used in various scientific research fields and has limitations such as being based on ideal conditions and not accounting for collisions or non-uniform electric fields.

Help! Parallel Plates Velocity of Electron

New to the forums and am hoping to find some major help...

I need some help understanding parallel plates and how to calculate the velocity of an electron going through them. What formula's would I use?

Any help would be appreciated...please help me!

Thanks,

...Dan

i'm assuming you mean parellel plates as capacitors and uniform electric fields.

you need:
three quasions of kinamatics
a=F/m
E=F/q
