AI Thread Summary
The illustration submitted for the homework problem incorrectly depicts the orientation of the conducting plates, which should be parallel to the beam and field, rather than perpendicular. The effort put into creating the illustration using PowerPoint is acknowledged, but the misunderstanding of the beam's source is noted as a significant error. The feedback emphasizes the need to revise the drawing to align with the problem's requirements. This highlights the importance of accurately interpreting the problem's context in physics illustrations. A corrected version is necessary for proper understanding and representation of the concepts involved.

Homework Statement



Did I draw the illustration to this problem correctly?

Homework Equations


No equations are needed. I just want to know if I drew the illustration correctly.

The Attempt at a Solution



I actually used powerpoint to draw this illustration so I put forth an effort!
 
Physics news on Phys.org
"Conducting plates placed above and below the beam" suggest that each plate is in a plane parallel to the plane containing the beam and field. Your masterpiece, alas, differs from this and has the plates perpendicular.

Back to the drawing board!
 
I think you understood the beam to be eminating from one of the plates. This is unlikely to be what is intended (and would be difficult to arrange, anyway).
