A particle of charge $q$ and mass $m$ is subjected to an electric field $E = E _{0}\left(1- ax ^{2}\right)$ in the $x-$direction, where $a$ and $E _{0}$ are constants. Initially the particle was at rest at $x=0 .$ Other than the initial position the kinetic energy of the particle becomes zero when the distance of the particle from the origin is
