An electron of mass $m_e$ initially at rest moves through a certain distance in a uniform electric field in time $t_1$. $A$ proton of mass $m_p$ also initially at rest takes time $t_2$ to move through an equal distance in this uniform electric field. Neglecting the effect of gravity,the ratio of $t_2/t_1$ is nearly equal to

  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $(m_p/m_e)^{1/2}$
  • C
    $(m_e/m_p)^{1/2}$
  • D
    $1836$

$A$ 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 $g=10 \text{ ms}^{-2}$)

$A$ small sphere carrying a charge $q$ is hanging in between two parallel plates by a string of length $L$. The time period of the pendulum is $T_0$. When the parallel plates are charged,the time period changes to $T$. The ratio $T/T_0$ is equal to

As shown in the figure below,a point charge $q$ moves from point $P$ to a point $S$ traversing a path $PQRS$ in a uniform electric field $\vec{E}$. The electric field is directed along a direction parallel to the $x$-axis. The coordinates of $P$,$Q$,$R$,and $S$ are $(a, b, 0)$,$(2a, 0, 0)$,$(a, -b, 0)$,and $(0, 0, 0)$ respectively. What is the work done by the field in the process?

In Millikan's oil drop experiment,an oil drop of mass $16 \times 10^{-6} \ kg$ is balanced by an electric field of $10^6 \ V/m$. The charge in coulomb on the drop,assuming $g = 10 \ m/s^2$,is:
