Discover Physics with free Physics Revision Notes and Physics Calculator: Motion Inside A Uniform Electric Field. This image shows the properties and motion inside a uniform electric field formula for the Motion Inside A Uniform Electric Field. This calculator will calculate the acceleration caused on a charge inside a uniform electric field due to the electric force, the moving time of a charge between two parallel plates charged oppositely and the total displacement of a charge inside a uniform electric field

Acceleration of the charge caused by the electric force Formula and Calculation

a = Q × ∆V/m × d

The Acceleration of the charge caused by the electric force formula derives from the combination of the following formulae:

Newton's Second Law of Motion
a = F/m
F_e = Q × E
E = ΔV/d

Moving time of a charge between two parallel plates Formula and Calculation

t = √2 × m × d²/Q × ∆V

The Moving time of a charge between two parallel plates formula derives from the combination of the following formulae:

d = a × t²/2
a = Q × ∆V/m × d

Total displacement of charge Formula and Calculation

∆S = d × √1 + g × m/Q × ∆V

The Total displacement of charge formula derives from the combination of the following formulae:

h = g × t²/2
t = √2 × m × d²/Q × ∆V
∆S =√d² + h²
