$A$ charged particle $q$ is shot towards another charged particle $Q$ which is fixed,with a speed $v$. It approaches $Q$ up to a closest distance $r$ and then returns. If $q$ were given a speed $2v$,the closest distance of approach would be

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

$A$ small sphere of mass $m$ carrying a charge $q$ is hanging between two parallel plates by a string of length $L$ as shown in the figure. The time period of the pendulum is $T_0$. When the parallel plates are charged as shown,the time period changes to $T$. The ratio $T / T_0$ is equal to:
