Practise IB Physics HL D.2.7 by analysing electric-field-line geometry for multi-charge systems, conductors and parallel plates.
This question is in two parts. Part 1 is about photoelectricity. Part 2 is about electrical and magnetic force fields.
Part 1 Photoelectricity
(b) The diagram shows a pair of horizontal metal plates. Electrons can be deflected vertically using an electric field between the plates.

Draw the shape and direction of the electric field between the plates on the diagram.

uniform (by eye) line spacing and edge effect, field lines touching both plates; downward arrows (minimum of one and none upward);
