• Imagine an electron moving horizontally between two charged parallel plates.
• Top plate: +V potential.
• Bottom plate: 0 potential (zero potential).
• This creates a uniform electric field pointing downwards.

💡 Real-World Example: Think of it like a car entering a wind tunnel. In the tunnel, the wind (electric field) pushes the car (electron) in a specific direction.

• The electric field pulls positively charged objects downwards. But for our negative electron, it's pushed upwards!
• Because this field is everywhere the same (uniform), the force on our electron is also constant.
• What does this lead to? Constant acceleration! Just like how a car accelerates when you press the gas pedal consistently.

• Kinematic equations & Newton’s 2nd Law help us break this down.
• Electric Field Strength, E = V/d (where d is distance between plates).
• Vertical acceleration of the electron:
• \(^avertical = \frac {qE}{m_e} = \frac {qV}{m_e × d}\)
• where me​ is the mass of the electron.
• Horizontally, our electron is chill. Its speed doesn’t change.

💡 Cool Fact: If the electron stays between the plates for a time 't', then:
\(t = \frac {X}{^vnorizontal}\)
Where 'X' is the length of the plates.
