A simple and common technique for accelerating electrons is shown in Figure 18.55, where there is a uniform electric field between two plates.

(a) Calculate the acceleration of the electorn if the field strength is 2.50104 N/C. (b) Explain why the electron will not be pulled back to the positive plate once it moves through the hole.
