The acceleration of an electron in an electric field of magnitude $50\, V/cm$ is (given that the $e/m$ ratio of the electron is $1.76 \times 10^{11}\, C/kg$):

$A$ particle having mass $m$ and charge $q$ is at rest. On applying a uniform electric field $E$ on it,it starts moving. When this particle travels a distance $x$ in the direction of the force,its kinetic energy will be . . . . . . .

$A$ 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.

As shown in the following figure,an electron falls through a distance of $1.5 \ cm$ in a uniform electric field of magnitude $2.0 \times 10^4 \ NC^{-1}$. Find the acceleration of the electron due to the electric field.

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
