Asimple and common technique for accelerating electrons is shown in the figure, where there is a uniform electric field between two plates. electrons are released, usually from a hot filament, near the negative plate, and there is a small hole in the positive plate that allows the electrons to pass through.
calculate the horizontal component of the acceleration of the electron if the field strength is 2.55*10^4 n/c. express your answer in m/s^2 and assume the electric field is pointing in the negative x-direction.
