Two identical positive charges are fixed on the $y$ -axis, at equal distances from the  origin $O$. A particle with a negative charge starts on the $x$ -axis at a large distance  from $O$, moves along the $+ x$ -axis, passes through $O$ and moves far away from $O$. Its acceleration $a$ is taken as positive in the positive $x$ -direction. The particle’s  acceleration a is plotted against its $x$ -coordinate. Which of the following best represents  the plot?

  • A
    816-a840
  • B
    816-b840
  • C
    816-c840
  • D
    816-d840

An electron of mass ${m_e}$ initially at rest moves through a certain distance in a uniform electric field in time ${t_1}$. A proton of mass ${m_p}$ also initially at rest takes time ${t_2}$ to move through an equal distance in this uniform electric field. Neglecting the effect of gravity, the ratio of ${t_2}/{t_1}$ is nearly equal to

A particle of mass $m$ and charge $(-q)$ enters the region between the two charged plates initially moving along $x$ -axis with speed $v_{x}$ (like particle $1$ in Figure). The length of plate is $L$ and an 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 $q E L^{2} /\left(2 m v_{x}^{2}\right)$

There is a uniform electric field of strength ${10^3}\,V/m$ along $y$-axis. A body of mass $1\,g$ and charge $10^{-6}\,C$ is projected into the field from origin along the positive $x$-axis with a velocity $10\,m/s$. Its speed in $m/s$ after $10\,s$ is (Neglect gravitation)

A Charged particle of mass $m$ and charge $q$ is released from rest in a uniform electric field $E.$ Neglecting the effect of gravity, the kinetic energy of the charged particle after $'t'$ second is

The figures below depict two situations in which two infinitely long static line charges of constant positive line charge density $\lambda$ are kept parallel to each other. In their resulting electric field, point charges $q$ and $- q$ are kept in equilibrium between them. The point charges are confined to move in the $x$ direction only. If they are given a small displacement about their equilibrium positions, then the correct statement$(s)$ is(are)
