The tiny ball at the end of the thread shown in the figure has a mass of $0.5 \, g$ and is placed in a horizontal electric field of intensity $500 \, N/C$. It is in equilibrium in the position shown. The magnitude and sign of the charge on the ball is .....$\mu C$.

An electron is moving with constant velocity along the $x$-axis. If a uniform electric field is applied along the $y$-axis,then its path in the $x-y$ plane will be:

In an ink-jet printer,an ink droplet of mass $m$ is given a negative charge $q$ by a computer-controlled charging unit,and then enters at speed $v$ in the region between two deflecting parallel plates of length $L$ separated by distance $d$ (see figure below). All over this region exists a downward electric field $E$ which you can assume to be uniform. Neglecting the gravitational force on the droplet,the maximum charge that can be given so that it will not hit a plate is close to :
