$A$ water drop of mass $10^{-6} \ kg$ carries a charge of $(-10^{-6}) \ C$. What magnitude of electric field should be applied to the drop so that it is in equilibrium with its weight?

Two large vertical and parallel metal plates having a separation of $1 \ cm$ are connected to a $DC$ voltage source of potential difference $X$. $A$ proton is released at rest midway between the two plates. It is found to move at $45^{\circ}$ to the vertical $JUST$ after release. Then $X$ is nearly

$A$ proton and an $\alpha$-particle are both accelerated from rest in a uniform electric field. The ratio of work done by the electric field on the proton and the $\alpha$-particle in a given time is

The coordinates of $A, B, C$ and $D$ are $(a, b, 0), (2a, 0, 0), (a, -b, 0)$ and $(0, 0, 0)$ respectively. How much work is done in moving a charge $q$ from $A$ to $D$ in a uniform electric field $\vec{E}$ directed along the positive $x$-axis?

An electron falls through a distance of $1.5 \; cm$ in a uniform electric field of magnitude $2.0 \times 10^{4} \; N C^{-1}$ [Figure $(a)$]. The direction of the field is reversed keeping its magnitude unchanged and a proton falls through the same distance [Figure $(b)$]. Compute the time of fall in each case. Contrast the situation with that of 'free fall under gravity'.

An oil drop of radius $2 \, mm$ with a density $3 \, g \, cm^{-3}$ is held stationary under a constant electric field $3.55 \times 10^{5} \, V \, m^{-1}$ in the Millikan's oil drop experiment. What is the number of excess electrons that the oil drop will possess? (Consider $g = 9.81 \, m \, s^{-2}$)
