An electron falls from rest through a vertical distance $h$ in a uniform and vertically upward directed electric field $E$. The direction of the electric field is now reversed,keeping its magnitude the same. $A$ proton is allowed to fall from rest in it through the same vertical distance $h$. The time of fall of the electron,in comparison to the time of fall of the proton,is:

  • A
    smaller
  • B
    $5$ times greater
  • C
    equal
  • D
    $10$ times greater

$A$ particle of mass $m$ and charge $(-q)$ enters the region between two charged plates,initially moving along the $x$-axis with speed $v_{x}$ (like particle $1$ in the Figure). The length of the plate is $L$ and a uniform electric field $E$ is maintained between the plates. Show that the vertical deflection of the particle at the far edge of the plate is $q E L^{2} / (2 m v_{x}^{2})$. Compare this motion with the motion of a projectile in a gravitational field.

An electron of mass $m$ and charge $e$ is accelerated from rest through a potential difference $V$ in vacuum. Its final velocity will be

Two charges $-q$ each are fixed and separated by a distance $2d$. $A$ third charge $q$ of mass $m$ placed at the midpoint is displaced slightly by $x$ $(x \ll d)$ perpendicular to the line joining the two fixed charges as shown in the figure. Show that the charge $q$ will perform simple harmonic motion with a time period $T = \left[\frac{8 \pi^{3} \epsilon_{0} m d^{3}}{q^{2}}\right]^{1 / 2}$.

$A$ 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?

$A$ particle of mass $M$ and charge $q$, initially at rest, is accelerated by a uniform electric field $E$ through a distance $D$ and is then allowed to approach a fixed static charge $Q$ of the same sign. The distance of the closest approach of the charge $q$ will then be
