In a region of space,suppose there exists a uniform electric field $\vec{E} = 10 \hat{i} \text{ V/m}$. If a positive charge moves with a velocity $\vec{v} = -2 \hat{j} \text{ m/s}$,its potential energy:

  • A
    Increases
  • B
    Decreases
  • C
    Does not change
  • D
    Initially increases then decreases

In a Millikan oil drop experiment,a charged drop of mass $1.8 \times 10^{-14} \ kg$ is stationary between its plates. The distance between the plates is $0.90 \ cm$ and the potential difference is $2.0 \ kV$. The number of electrons on the drop is:

Two charges each of magnitude $q$ are fixed at a distance $2d$ apart. $A$ third charge (proton) placed at the midpoint is displaced slightly by a distance $x$ $(x << d)$ perpendicular to the line joining the two fixed charges. The proton will execute simple harmonic motion having an angular frequency: ($m =$ mass of the charged particle)

Select the correct statement: (Only force on a particle is due to electric field)

An oil drop having a mass $4.8 \times 10^{-13} \,kg$ and charge $2.4 \times 10^{-18} \,C$ stands still between two charged horizontal plates separated by a distance of $1 \,cm$. If now the polarity of the plates is changed,the instantaneous acceleration of the drop is: $(g = 10 \,m/s^2)$ (in $\,m/s^2$)

An electron is accelerated through a potential difference of $200 \ V$. If $e/m$ for the electron is $1.6 \times 10^{11} \ C/kg$,the velocity acquired by the electron will be:
