Speed of a particle that can pass through plates

AI Thread Summary
To determine the speed at which a particle can pass through two plates with a potential difference of 1500 volts and a separation of 0.012 meters without being deflected, it is essential to consider the effects of both the electric and magnetic fields. The electric field created by the potential difference will exert a force on the particle, potentially causing deflection. Without a magnetic field to counteract this force, the particle's trajectory would be altered. A complete understanding of the problem requires stating the initial conditions and any calculations already performed. The discussion emphasizes the need for clarity and thoroughness in problem-solving.

Two plates, potential difference V =1500 which are .012m apart. What speed particle can pass through them without being deflected?

I think you need to state the problem completely. This makes no sense. The spirit of things around here is that you tell us what you have done so far. Then you can get some direction for going farther, or redirected to a new approach.
 
U need to know the magnetic field.If it hadn't been for a magnetic field,the particle would be deviated by the electric field.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
