$A$ particle of charge $q$ and mass $m$ is subjected to an electric field $E = E_{0}(1 - ax^{2})$ in the $x$-direction,where $a$ and $E_{0}$ are constants. Initially,the particle was at rest at $x = 0$. Other than the initial position,the kinetic energy of the particle becomes zero when the distance of the particle from the origin is:

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{2}{a}}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{1}{a}}$
  • C
    $a$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{3}{a}}$

$A$ particle of mass $m$ and charge $(-q)$ enters the region between two charged plates,initially moving along the $x$-axis with speed $v_{x}$ (like particle $1$ in the Figure). The length of the plate is $L$ and a uniform electric field $E$ is maintained between the plates. Show that the vertical deflection of the particle at the far edge of the plate is $q E L^{2} / (2 m v_{x}^{2})$. Compare this motion with the motion of a projectile in a gravitational field.

$A$ small block of mass $5 \, g$ and charge $5 \, \mu C$ is placed on an insulated, frictionless, inclined plane of angle $60^{\circ}$. An electric field is applied parallel to the inclined plane. If the block remains at rest, then the magnitude of the electric field is (Take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$):

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 $T = \left[\frac{8 \pi^{3} \epsilon_{0} m d^{3}}{q^{2}}\right]^{1 / 2}$.
