A uniform electric field of $10\,N / C$ is created between two parallel charged plates (as shown in figure). An electron enters the field symmetrically between the plates with a kinetic energy $0.5\,eV$. The length of each plate is $10\,cm$. The angle $(\theta)$ of deviation of the path of electron as it comes out of the field is  $.........$(in degree).

A proton sits at coordinates $(x, y) = (0, 0)$, and an electron 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, the $y$ coordinates of the two particles will be equal (at equal time)

Three particles are projected in a uniform electric field with same velocity perpendicular to the field as shown. Which particle has highest charge to mass ratio?

A small point mass carrying some positive charge on it, is released from the edge of a table. There is a uniform electric field in this region in the horizontal direction.
