A charge between two plates
Plates 5.0 cm long · uniform field E = V/d from + to − · F = qE · gravity negligible
Set up the plates and the particle

Between the plates
| Field strength E = V/d | |
| Force on the particle F = qE | |
| Acceleration a = F/m | |
| Result of the last shot | not fired yet |
Choose a particle and press Fire.
- Same V, different d: E = V/d changes
- Opposite charges bend opposite ways
- Hit a plate, then cleared it
