Two large parallel plates are charged such that the potential difference between them is $V_2 - V_1 = 20\ V$. Plate $2$ is at a higher potential. The plates are separated by a distance of $0.1\ m$ and can be considered infinitely large. An electron is released from rest at the inner surface of plate $1$. What is its speed when it strikes plate $2$? $(e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\ C, m_0 = 9.11 \times 10^{-31}\ kg)$

$A$ particle of charge $q$ and mass $m$ is subjected to an electric field $E = E_{0}(1 - ax^{2})$ in the $x$-direction,where $a$ and $E_{0}$ are constants. Initially,the particle was at rest at $x = 0$. Other than the initial position,the kinetic energy of the particle becomes zero when the distance of the particle from the origin is:

$A$ sphere carrying charge $Q$ and having weight $w$ falls under gravity between a pair of vertical plates at a distance $d$ from each other. When a potential difference $V$ is applied between the plates,the acceleration of the sphere changes as shown in the figure,along the line $BC$. The value of $Q$ is:
