For the deflection of the electrons holds: the higher $V_\text{p}$, the bigger the deflection y(x).
Task:
Check if we have also: $y(x) \sim V_\text{p}$. For checking the acceleration voltage $V_\text{a}$ is set to 3.5 kV. Complete the table at bottom of the page, by modifying the capacitor voltage and getting the missing values out of the experiment.

$\frac{\text{deflection on x = 5 cm}}{\text{capacitor voltage}~V_\text{p}}~\text{in}~\frac{\text{cm}}{\text{kV}}$
Notice:The approximately constant quotient $\frac{y(x)}{V_{\text p}}$ shows that ${y(x)\sim V_{\text p}}$.
The approximately constant quotient $\frac{y(x)}{V_{\text p}}$ shows that the deflection ${y(x)}$ is proportional to the Acceleration Voltage $ V_{\text p}$.
