The two 5.0-cm-long parallel electrodes in FIGURE P37.34 are spaced 1.0 cm apart. A proton enters the plates from one end, an equal distance from both electrodes. A potential difference ΔV = 500 V across the electrodes deflects the proton so that it strikes the outer end of the lower electrode. What magnetic field strength and direction will allow the proton to pass through undeflected while the 500 V potential difference is applied? Assume that both the electric and magnetic fields are confined to the space between the electrodes.
