A parallel-plate capacitor has 4.6 cm × 4.6 cm electrodes with surface charge densities ±1.0×10−6C/m2. A proton traveling parallel to the electrodes at 1.3×106 m/s enters the center of the gap between them.

By what distance has the proton been deflected sideways when it reaches the far edge of the capacitor? Assume the field is uniform inside the capacitor and zero outside the capacitor.

c) up is the direction the magnetic force is acting on the charge.

when two balls of the different masses are dropped from equal height, they reach the ground at the same time .this is because they experience the same acceleration.

the acceleration is independent of mass.

thus when they are dropped they will always maintain the same velocity and travel the same distance (neglect air resistance of course) at the same time.

the answer is the first electromagnet (a). this is because it has more coils around the ferromagnetic material. increasing the number of coils increases the surface area in which the metal interacts with the current in the coil. this enables more atoms in the metal to become aligned hence becoming more magnetized.
