Answer

a) $\vec{E}=-74\frac{KV}{m}\hat{y}$ b) $\Delta V=1.8KV$ c) Top plate

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $E=vB$ $\implies \vec{E}=-vB\hat{y}$ $\implies \vec{E}=-(1.42\times 10^5)(0.52)\hat{y}$ $\vec{E}=-74\frac{KV}{m}\hat{y}$ (b) As $\Delta V=Ed$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\Delta V=(7.4\times 10^4)(0.025)$ $\Delta V=1.8KV$ (c) The top plate will have positive charge (since the electric field starts at the top plate).
