An electron moving with a speed of $5 \times 10^6 \, m/s$ is shot parallel to an electric field of intensity $1 \times 10^3 \, N/C$. The field causes retardation of the electron's motion. Evaluate the distance traveled by the electron before coming to rest for an instant (mass of $e = 9 \times 10^{-31} \, kg$,charge $q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, C$).

  • A
    $7 \, m$
  • B
    $0.7 \, mm$
  • C
    $7 \, cm$
  • D
    $0.7 \, cm$

$A$ particle of charge $q$ and mass $m$ is projected from origin with an initial velocity $\vec{v} = (\frac{v_0}{\sqrt{2}}\hat{i} + \frac{v_0}{\sqrt{2}}\hat{j})$. There exists a uniform magnetic field $\vec{B} = B_0\hat{z}$ and a space varying electric field $\vec{E} = E_0 e^{-\lambda x}\hat{x}$ within the region $0 \leq x \leq L$. After travelling a distance such that $x$-coordinate has changed from $x = 0$ to $x = L$,the change in the kinetic energy is . . . . . . .

$A$ pair of parallel metal plates are kept with a separation $d$. One plate is at a potential $+V$ and the other is at ground potential. $A$ narrow beam of electrons enters the space between the plates with a velocity $v_{0}$ and in a direction parallel to the plates. What will be the angle of the beam with the plates after it travels an axial distance $L$?

$A$ proton is located at coordinates $(x, y) = (0, 0)$,and an electron is at $(d, h)$,where $d >> h$. At time $t = 0$,a uniform electric field $E$ of unknown magnitude but pointing in the positive $y$ direction is turned on. Assuming that $d$ is large enough that the proton-electron interaction is negligible,at what $y$ coordinate will the two particles have the same $y$ position at the same time?

There is a uniform electric field of strength $10^3 \ Vm^{-1}$ along the $Y$-axis. $A$ body of mass $1 \ g$ and charge $10^{-6} \ C$ is projected into the field from the origin along the positive $X$-axis with a velocity of $10 \ ms^{-1}$.
