The correct answer is: 0.5 m

Force experienced by a particle with charge q in an electric field F=qE.

Now, the acceleration produced is given as a=Fm=qEm=40×10-6×1051×10-4

=4×104 m  s-2  (As the particle is projected against the electric field, hence it is decelerated)

Using, v2=u2-2as

We have, 02=u2-2as

s=v22a=20022×4×104=0.5 m
