The bob of a simple pendulum has mass $2\,g$ and a charge of $5.0\,\mu C$. It is at rest in a uniform horizontal electric field of intensity $2000\,V/m$. At equilibrium,the angle that the pendulum makes with the vertical is (take $g = 10\,m/s^2$)

  • A
    $\tan^{-1}(2.0)$
  • B
    $\tan^{-1}(0.2)$
  • C
    $\tan^{-1}(5.0)$
  • D
    $\tan^{-1}(0.5)$

$A$ small sphere of mass $m = 0.5 \, kg$ carrying a positive charge $q = 110 \, \mu C$ is connected to a light,flexible,and inextensible string of length $r = 60 \, cm$ and whirled in a vertical circle. If a vertically upwards electric field of strength $E = 10^5 \, N/C$ exists in the space,what is the minimum velocity of the sphere required at the highest point so that it may just complete the circle? $(g = 10 \, m/s^2)$

In an ink-jet printer,an ink droplet of mass $m$ is given a negative charge $q$ by a computer-controlled charging unit,and then enters at speed $v$ in the region between two deflecting parallel plates of length $L$ separated by distance $d$ (see figure below). All over this region exists a downward electric field $E$ which you can assume to be uniform. Neglecting the gravitational force on the droplet,the maximum charge that can be given so that it will not hit a plate is close to :

$A$ block of mass $m$ containing a net negative charge $-q$ is placed on a frictionless horizontal table and is connected to a wall through an unstretched spring of spring constant $k$ as shown. If a horizontal electric field $E$ parallel to the spring is switched on,then the maximum compression of the spring is:

$A$ particle of mass $1 \, g$ and charge $-0.1 \, \mu C$ is projected from the ground with a velocity $10\sqrt{2} \, m/s$ at an angle of $45^o$ with the horizontal in a region having a uniform electric field $1 \, kV/cm$ in the horizontal direction. Acceleration due to gravity is $10 \, m/s^2$ in the vertical downward direction. Select the $INCORRECT$ statement.

$A$ 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?
