$A$ proton is located at coordinates $(x, y) = (0, 0)$,and an electron is at $(d, h)$,where $d >> h$. At time $t = 0$,a uniform electric field $E$ of unknown magnitude but pointing in the positive $y$ direction is turned on. Assuming that $d$ is large enough that the proton-electron interaction is negligible,at what $y$ coordinate will the two particles have the same $y$ position at the same time?

$A$ uniform electric field,$\vec{E} = -400 \sqrt{3} \hat{y} \text{ NC}^{-1}$ is applied in a region. $A$ charged particle of mass $m$ carrying positive charge $q$ is projected in this region with an initial speed of $u = 2 \sqrt{10} \times 10^6 \text{ ms}^{-1}$. This particle is aimed to hit a target $T$,which is $5 \text{ m}$ away from its entry point into the field as shown schematically in the figure. Take $\frac{q}{m} = 10^{10} \text{ Ckg}^{-1}$. Then-
$(A)$ the particle will hit $T$ if projected at an angle $45^{\circ}$ from the horizontal
$(B)$ the particle will hit $T$ if projected either at an angle $30^{\circ}$ or $60^{\circ}$ from the horizontal
$(C)$ time taken by the particle to hit $T$ could be $\sqrt{\frac{5}{6}} \mu\text{s}$ as well as $\sqrt{\frac{5}{2}} \mu\text{s}$
$(D)$ time taken by the particle to hit $T$ is $\sqrt{\frac{5}{3}} \mu\text{s}$

$A$ particle of mass $m$ and charge $q$ is thrown perpendicular to an electric field of intensity $E$ with an initial velocity $v$. The particle moves a distance $x$ perpendicular to the field and a distance $y$ along the direction of the field. If $y = \alpha x^{2}$,then $\alpha$ is given by:

The tiny ball at the end of the thread shown in the figure has a mass of $0.5 \, g$ and is placed in a horizontal electric field of intensity $500 \, N/C$. It is in equilibrium in the position shown. The magnitude and sign of the charge on the ball is .....$\mu C$.

Two equal negative charges $-q$ are fixed at the points $(0, a)$ and $(0, -a)$ on the $y-$ axis. $A$ positive charge $Q$ is released from rest at the point $(2a, 0)$ on the $x-$ axis. The charge will
