Figure  shows tracks of three charged particles in a uniform electrostatic field. Give the signs of the three charges. Which particle has the highest charge to mass ratio?

There is a uniform electric field of strength ${10^3}\,V/m$ along $y$-axis. A body of mass $1\,g$ and charge $10^{-6}\,C$ is projected into the field from origin along the positive $x$-axis with a velocity $10\,m/s$. Its speed in $m/s$ after $10\,s$ is (Neglect gravitation)

An electron of mass ${m_e}$ initially at rest moves through a certain distance in a uniform electric field in time ${t_1}$. A proton of mass ${m_p}$ also initially at rest takes time ${t_2}$ to move through an equal distance in this uniform electric field. Neglecting the effect of gravity, the ratio of ${t_2}/{t_1}$ is nearly equal to

A uniform electric field $E =(8\,m / e ) V / m$ is created between two parallel plates of length $1 m$ as shown in figure, (where $m =$ mass of electron and $e=$ charge of electron). An electron enters the field symmetrically between the plates with a speed of $2\,m / s$. The angle of the deviation $(\theta)$ of the path of the electron as it comes out of the field will be........

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 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 :
