Number
3 (a) Arrow(s) downwards (1) 1

3 (b) Use of E = V/d (1)

Use of F = EQ (1)
F = 5.1  10−16 N (1) 3

Example of calculation
F = (160 V  1.6  10−-19 C)/ 5.0  10−-2 m
F = 5.12  10−16 N

3 (c) Between the plates there is an acceleration/force which is (1)

vertical/upwards
(1)
Constant horizontal velocity

Outside the plates no (electric) field /force acts (1) 3

Or Outside the plates speed so large that gravitational effect
negligible

4 (a) Use of E = V/d (1)
Answer = 1.5 x 105 V m-1 or N C-1 (1) 2

Eg E = 1.5 / 10 x 10-6
4 (b) Opposite forces (act on either end of molecule) (1)
Molecule rotates / aligns with field (1)
- at top / + at bottom (1) 3
