Two insulating plates are both uniformly charged in such a way that the potential difference between them is $V_2 - V_1 = 20\ V$ (i.e.,plate $2$ is at a higher potential). The plates are separated by $d = 0.1\ m$ and can be treated as infinitely large. An electron is released from rest on the inner surface of plate $1$. What is its speed when it hits plate $2$? $(e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\ C, m_e = 9.11 \times 10^{-31}\ kg)$

  • A
    $32 \times 10^{-19} \ m/s$
  • B
    $2.65 \times 10^6 \ m/s$
  • C
    $7.02 \times 10^{12} \ m/s$
  • D
    $1.87 \times 10^6 \ m/s$

The bob of a simple pendulum has mass $2\,g$ and a charge of $5.0\,\mu C$. It is at rest in a uniform horizontal electric field of intensity $2000\,V/m$. At equilibrium,the angle that the pendulum makes with the vertical is (take $g = 10\,m/s^2$)

$A$ particle of mass $m$ and charge $(-q)$ enters the region between two charged plates,initially moving along the $x$-axis with a speed $v_{x} = 2.0 \times 10^{6} \; m \, s^{-1}$. If the electric field $E$ between the plates,which are separated by $0.5 \; cm$,is $9.1 \times 10^{2} \; N/C$,at what distance along the $x$-axis will the electron strike the upper plate (in $cm$)?

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

$A$ particle with charge $e$ and mass $m$, moving along the $X$-axis with a uniform speed $u$, enters a region where a uniform electric field $E$ is acting along the $Y$-axis. The particle starts to move in a parabola. Its focal length (neglecting any effect of gravity) is
