The electric field at a point is given by $\vec E = E_0 \hat i \, V/m$. $A$ particle of charge $+q_0$ moves from point $A(0, a)$ to $B(a, 0)$ along a circular path as shown in the figure. Find the work done by the electric field in this motion.

  • A
    $\sqrt 2 q_0 a E_0$
  • B
    $\frac{q_0 a E_0}{\sqrt 2}$
  • C
    $q_0 a E_0$
  • D
    $2 q_0 E_0 a$

$A$ 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.
