In a region of space,suppose there exists a uniform electric field $\vec{E} = 10 \hat{i} \text{ V/m}$. If a positive charge moves with a velocity $\vec{v} = -2 \hat{j} \text{ m/s}$,its potential energy:

  • A
    Increases
  • B
    Decreases
  • C
    Does not change
  • D
    Initially increases then decreases

$A$ 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

$A$ charge of magnitude $2e$ and mass $4m$ is moving in an electric field $E$. The acceleration imparted to the above charge is

$A$ charged particle,initially at rest at $O$,follows the trajectory shown alongside when released. Such a trajectory is possible in the presence of:

$A$ 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 $\sqrt{\frac{5}{3}} \mu\text{s}$
