0 1 . 1 Figure 1 shows apparatus used in an experiment to measure the specific charge of
the electron.
Figure 1
Electrons are accelerated by the potential difference VA.
The electrons then enter the region between two parallel metal plates, shown shaded
in Figure 1. The parallel metal plates are separated by a distance d with a potential
difference VP across them. In the same region there is a uniform magnetic field of flux
density B into the plane of the diagram.
Explain why the electron beam is undeflected in the shaded region shown in Figure 1.
