An oil drop having a mass $4.8 \times 10^{-13} \,kg$ and charge $2.4 \times 10^{-18} \,C$ stands still between two charged horizontal plates separated by a distance of $1 \,cm$. If now the polarity of the plates is changed,the instantaneous acceleration of the drop is: $(g = 10 \,m/s^2)$ (in $\,m/s^2$)

An electron enters a parallel plate capacitor with horizontal speed $u$ and is found to deflect by angle $\theta$ on leaving the capacitor as shown below. It is found that $\tan \theta = 0.4$ and gravity is negligible. If the initial horizontal speed is doubled, then the value of $\tan \theta$ will be

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