$A$ cathode ray tube contains a pair of parallel metal plates $1.0 \, cm$ apart and $3.0 \, cm$ long. $A$ narrow horizontal beam of electrons with a velocity $3 \times 10^7 \, m/s$ passes down the tube midway between the plates. When a potential difference of $550 \, V$ is maintained across the plates,it is found that the electron beam is deflected such that it just strikes the end of one of the plates. The specific charge of the electron in $C/kg$ is:

  • A
    $1.8 \times 10^9$
  • B
    $1.8 \times 10^{10}$
  • C
    $1.8 \times 10^{11}$
  • D
    $1.8 \times 10^{12}$

$A$ particle of mass $M$ and charge $q$,initially at rest,is accelerated by a uniform electric field $E$ through a distance $D$ and is then allowed to approach a fixed static charge $Q$ of the same sign. The distance of the closest approach of the charge $q$ will then be

$A$ charged particle with charge $q$ and mass $m$ starts with an initial kinetic energy $K$ at the centre of a uniformly charged spherical region of total charge $Q$ and radius $R$. Charges $q$ and $Q$ have opposite signs. The spherically charged region is not free to move and kinetic energy $K$ is just sufficient for the charged particle to reach the boundary of the spherical charge. How much time does it take the particle to reach the boundary of the region?

An electron is accelerated through a potential difference of $200 \ V$. If $e/m$ for the electron is $1.6 \times 10^{11} \ C/kg$,the velocity acquired by the electron will be:

In the absence of gravity,a charge $q$ and mass $2m$ is placed stationary in a uniform electric field of intensity $E$. When the charge is released,its speed after $n$ seconds is . . . . . . .

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'.
