A uniform electric field E=91×10-6 V m-1 is created between two parallel charged plates as shown in the figure. An electron enters the field symmetrically between the plates with a speed v0=4×103 m s-1. The length of each plate is l=1 m. Find the angle of deviation of the path of the electron as it comes out of the field. (Mass of the electron is m=9.1×1031 kg and its charge is e=1.6×1019 C).
