$A$ particle of mass '$m$' and charge '$q$',initially at rest, is accelerated by a uniform electric field '$E$' through a distance '$D$' and is then allowed to approach a fixed static charge '$Q$' of the same sign. The distance of the closest approach of the charge '$q$' is [ $\epsilon_0$ = permittivity of free space ]

$A$ particle of mass $0.2 \ g$ and charge $2 \ C$ is released from rest in a uniform electric field of $20 \ N \ C^{-1}$. The kinetic energy of the particle after moving a distance of $20 \ cm$ is (in $J$)

$A$ charged cork ball having mass $1 \text{ g}$ and charge $q$ is suspended on a light string in a uniform electric field as shown in the figure. The ball is in equilibrium at $\theta=37^{\circ}$,when the value of the electric field is $E=(3 \hat{i}+5 \hat{j}) \times 10^5 \text{ NC}^{-1}$. (Assume $T$ as tension in the string.) Which of the following options are correct? (Given,$\sin 37^{\circ}=0.60$ and $g=10 \text{ ms}^{-2}$)

$A$ proton is fired at an initial velocity of $150 \, m/s$ at an angle of $60^\circ$ above the horizontal into a uniform electric field of $2 \times 10^{-4} \, N/C$ between two charged parallel plates as shown in the figure. The total time the particle is in motion is:
