At a distance $l$ from a uniformly charged long wire, a charged particle is thrown radially outward with a velocity $u$ in the direction perpendicular to the wire. When the particle reaches a distance $2 l$ from the wire, its speed is found to be $\sqrt{2} u$. The magnitude of the velocity, when it is a distance $4 l$ away from the wire is (ignore gravity)

Two insulating plates are both uniformly charged in such a way that the potential difference between them is $V_2 - V_1 = 20\ V$. (i.e., plate $2$ is at a higher potential). The plates are separated by $d = 0.1\ m$ and can be treated as infinitely large. An electron is released from rest on the inner surface of plate $1. $ What is its speed when it hits plate $2?$
