I am studying for a test tomorrow and our prof gave us a practice test and I am confused on how to solve this problem
A charged particle is accelerated through a potential of 15,000 volts, after which it passes between two deflecting plates. What voltage must be applied to these plates to deflect the particle through an angle of 10 degrees?
NOTE the answer is 882 V (IDK how to get that)
Plates are horizontal with length of 3 cm and are .5 cm apart.
Particle starts at center of the two plates and once it goes between the two plates it is deflected downward 10 degrees
