An electron enters a parallel plate capacitor with horizontal speed $u$ and is found to deflect by angle $\theta$ on leaving the capacitor as shown below. It is found that $\tan \theta = 0.4$ and gravity is negligible. If the initial horizontal speed is doubled, then the value of $\tan \theta$ will be

  • A
    $0.1$
  • B
    $0.2$
  • C
    $0.8$
  • D
    $1.6$

The charge on the drop is $8 \times 10^{-18} \ C$. The radius of the drop is $\left[ \rho_{air} = 1.29 \ kg/m^3, \rho_{Hg} = 13.6 \times 10^3 \ kg/m^3, g = 9.8 \ m/s^2 \right]$.

The figure shows the tracks of three charged particles in a uniform electrostatic field. Give the signs of the three charges. Which particle has the highest charge-to-mass ratio?

An electron is made to enter symmetrically between two parallel and equally but oppositely charged metal plates,each of $10 \ cm$ length. The electron emerges out of the field region with a horizontal component of velocity $10^6 \ m/s$. If the magnitude of the electric field between the plates is $9.1 \ V/cm$,then the vertical component of velocity of the electron is (mass of electron $= 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \ kg$ and charge of electron $= 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C$)

In Millikan's oil drop experiment,an oil drop of mass $16 \times 10^{-6} \ kg$ is balanced by an electric field of $10^6 \ V/m$. The charge in coulomb on the drop,assuming $g = 10 \ m/s^2$,is:
