$A$ block of mass $m$ containing a net negative charge $-q$ is placed on a frictionless horizontal table and is connected to a wall through an unstretched spring of spring constant $k$ as shown. If a horizontal electric field $E$ parallel to the spring is switched on,then the maximum compression of the spring is:

  • A
    $\sqrt{qE/k}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{k/qE}$
  • C
    $qE/k$
  • D
    $\frac{2qE}{k}$

$A$ particle of mass $m$ and charge $q$ is fastened to one end $A$ of a massless string having equilibrium length $\ell$,whose other end is fixed at point $O$. The whole system is placed on a frictionless horizontal plane and is initially at rest. If a uniform electric field $E$ is switched on along the $x$-direction as shown in the figure,then the speed of the particle when it crosses the $x$-axis 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?

Two charges $-q$ each are fixed and separated by a distance $2d$. $A$ third charge $q$ of mass $m$ placed at the midpoint is displaced slightly by $x$ $(x \ll d)$ perpendicular to the line joining the two fixed charges as shown in the figure. Show that the charge $q$ will perform simple harmonic motion with a time period $T = \left[\frac{8 \pi^{3} \epsilon_{0} m d^{3}}{q^{2}}\right]^{1 / 2}$.
