An infinitely long thin straight wire has a uniform linear charge density of $\frac{1}{3} \text{ C m}^{-1}$. The magnitude of the force acting on a charge of $3 \mu\text{C}$ situated at a point $18 \text{ cm}$ away from the wire is:
$\left(\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \text{ N m}^2 \text{ C}^{-2}\right)$
$\left(\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \text{ N m}^2 \text{ C}^{-2}\right)$
An electron is moving under the influence of the electric field of a uniformly charged infinite plane sheet $S$ having surface charge density $+\sigma$. The electron at $t=0$ is at a distance of $1 \,m$ from $S$ and has a speed of $1 \,m/s$. The maximum value of $\sigma$ if the electron strikes $S$ at $t=1 \,s$ is $\alpha \left[ \frac{m \epsilon_0}{e} \right] \,C/m^2$. The value of $\alpha$ is:
