A spherical mass of 5.0 g is hanging from a thread that is positioned between two plate a distance of 20.0 cm apart. The sphere has a charge of 6.2 μC and is deflected by an ar from the vertical as is evidenced in the figure below. What would the potential differen between the plates need to b for the angle of deflection to be 30° (i.e. 0 = 30°)? Note sphere has mass and is accordingly acted on by gravity so there will be a gravitational fo present.

A particle with charge 1.60 1019 C enters midway between two charged plates, one positive and the other negative. The initial velocity of the particle is parallel to the plates and along the midline between them (Fig. P26.48). A potential difference of 300.0 V is maintained between the two charged plates.
