$A$ ball of mass $1 \text{ g}$ having a charge of $20 \mu\text{C}$ is tied to one end of a string of length $0.9 \text{ m}$ and can rotate in a vertical plane in a uniform electric field of $100 \text{ NC}^{-1}$ directed upwards. The minimum horizontal velocity that must be given to the ball at the lowest position so that it completes the vertical circle is (Let $g = 10 \text{ ms}^{-2}$): (in $\text{ ms}^{-1}$)

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 $2$? $(e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\ C, m_e = 9.11 \times 10^{-31}\ kg)$

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?
