A Level Physics - Electric Fields and Forces - Motion of a charged particle in a uniform field

Throw an electron into this uniform field and what do you get? /**/ The electron experiences a constant force upwards due to the field. This results in projectile motion - it's exactly the same as throwing a stone off a cliff in a uniform gravitational field except here the electron goes up not down. Refer back to the section on projectile motion to work this out but remember, projectiles experience:- constant horizontal velocity constant vertical acceleration
