Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{\text { Eet }^2}{\mathrm{~m}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Relative acceleration \(a_{rel} = \frac{eE}{m} - \left(-\frac{eE}{m}\right) = \frac{2eE}{m}\). Separation \( \Delta y = \frac{1}{2} a_{rel} t^2 = \frac{1}{2} \left(\frac{2eE}{m}\right) t^2 = \frac{Ee t^2}{m}\).
