An electric field due to a positively charged long straight wire at a distance $r$ from it is proportional to $r^{-1}$ in magnitude. Two electrons are orbiting such a long straight wire in circular orbits of radii $1 \mathring{A}$ and $2 \mathring{A}$. The ratio of their respective time periods is

  • A
    $1: 1$
  • B
    $1: 2$
  • C
    $2: 1$
  • D
    $4: 1$

In the following figure,two parallel metallic plates are maintained at different potentials. If an electron is released midway between the plates,it will move:

$A$ particle of mass $M$ and charge $q$ is released from rest in a region of uniform electric field of magnitude $E$. After a time $t$, the distance travelled by the charge is $S$ and the kinetic energy attained by the particle is $T$. Then, the ratio $T/S$:

$A$ 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 $cm$)?
