A unit positive point charge of mass $m$ is projected with a velocity $V$ inside the tunnel as shown. The tunnel has been made inside a uniformly charged non conducting sphere. The minimum velocity with which the point charge should be projected such it can it reach the opposite end of the tunnel, is equal to

Two insulating plates are both uniformly charged in such a way that the potential difference between them is $V_2 - V_1 = 20\ V$. (i.e., plate $2$ is at a higher potential). The plates are separated by $d = 0.1\ m$ and can be treated as infinitely large. An electron is released from rest on the inner surface of plate $1. $ What is its speed when it hits plate $2?$
