5. In the cathode-ray tube, electrons
traveling horizontally from their source
with the velocity 'v0' are deflected by an
electric field 'E' due to the voltage
gradient across the plates P. The
deflecting forces causes an acceleration
in the vertical direction on the sketch
equal to 'eE/m', where 'e' is the electron
charge and 'm' is its mass. When clear

straight lines. Determine the expression
for the deflection '' for the tube and
