The figures below depict two situations in which two infinitely long static line charges of constant positive line charge density $\lambda$ are kept parallel to each other. In their resulting electric field, point charges $q$ and $- q$ are kept in equilibrium between them. The point charges are confined to move in the $x$ direction only. If they are given a small displacement about their equilibrium positions, then the correct statement$(s)$ is(are)

A simple pendulum is suspended in a lift which is going up with an acceleration $5\ m/s^2$. An electric  field of magnitude $5 \ N/C$ and directed vertically upward is also present in the lift. The charge of the bob is $1\ mC$ and mass is $1\ mg$. Taking $g = \pi^2$ and length of the simple pendulum $1\ m$, the time period of the simple pendulum is ......$s$

A body having specific charge $8\,\mu {C} / {g}$ is resting on a frictionless plane at a distance $10\, {cm}$ from the wall (as shown in the figure). It starts moving towards the wall when a uniform electric field of $100 \,{V} / {m}$ is applied horizontally toward the wall. If the collision of the body with the wall is perfectly elastic, then the time period of the motion will be $....\, S.$

Three particles are projected in a uniform electric field with same velocity perpendicular to the field as shown. Which particle has highest charge to mass ratio?

A mass $m = 20\,g$ has a charge $q = 3.0\,mC$. It moves with a velocity of $20\,m/s$ and enters a region of electric field of $80\,N/C$ in the same direction as the velocity of the mass. The velocity of the mass after $3$ seconds in this region is.......$m/s$
