$A$ block of mass $m$ containing a net negative charge $-q$ is placed on a frictionless horizontal table and is connected to a wall through an unstretched spring of spring constant $k$ as shown. If a horizontal electric field $E$ parallel to the spring is switched on,then the maximum compression of the spring is:

  • A
    $\sqrt{qE/k}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{k/qE}$
  • C
    $qE/k$
  • D
    $\frac{2qE}{k}$

$A$ mass $m = 20\,g$ has a charge $q = 3.0\,mC$. It moves with a velocity of $20\,m/s$ and enters a region of electric field of $80\,N/C$ in the same direction as the velocity of the mass. The velocity of the mass after $3\,s$ in this region is.......$m/s$.

In an ink-jet printer,an ink droplet of mass $m$ is given a negative charge $q$ by a computer-controlled charging unit,and then enters at speed $v$ in the region between two deflecting parallel plates of length $L$ separated by distance $d$ (see figure below). All over this region exists a downward electric field $E$ which you can assume to be uniform. Neglecting the gravitational force on the droplet,the maximum charge that can be given so that it will not hit a plate is close to :
