(a) In the figure, what is the direction of the electrostatic force on the electrone due to the external electric field shown ? (b) In which direction will the electron accelerate if it is moving parallel to the y axis before it encounters the external field ? (c ) If, instead the electron is initially moving rightward, will its speed increase, decrease, or remain constant ?
