we weren't given charge of proton, we were given mass.

i got tricked like u aswell but the plates are vertical to each other but they are set horisontally just like kilikens oil drop experimentemun said:hey u kno da parallel plate question? weren't da plates horizontal? not vertical? so gravity won't oppose the movement of the charged particle to the plate?
im not sure what u r talking about, i think u have a totally different pictures of how the apparatus is than me.Shael said:There was nothing wrong with the damn question. Whether the plates were in the horizontal or vertical axis it makes no difference to the fact it still has weight force. The only difference is that because they were horizontal the weight force was cancelled out with the repulsion from the positively charged plate and thus the particle stayed in an equilibrium. If the plates were vertical, the particle would have simply moved in a downward curved motion.
