The path of an electron with initial speed v in the uniform electric field between two parallel plates is shown. [Figure shows an electron entering horizontally between two horizontal parallel plates, being deflected downwards by an electric field. The vertical deflection at the right-hand edge is labelled x.] The vertical deflection x is measured at the right-hand edge of the plates. The distance between the plates is halved. The potential difference between the plates remains the same. What will be the new deflection of the electron with the same initial speed v?
