The surface of a planet is found to be uniformly charged. When a particle of mass $m$ and no charge is thrown at an angle from the surface of the planet,it has a parabolic trajectory as in projectile motion with horizontal range $L$. $A$ particle of mass $m$ and charge $q$,with the same initial conditions,has a range $L/2$. The range of a particle of mass $m$ and charge $2q$,with the same initial conditions,is:

  • A
    $L$
  • B
    $L/2$
  • C
    $L/3$
  • D
    $L/4$

$A$ disk of radius $R$ with uniform positive charge density $\sigma$ is placed on the $xy$ plane with its center at the origin. The Coulomb potential along the $z$-axis is $V(z) = \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0} (\sqrt{R^2+z^2} - z)$. $A$ particle of positive charge $q$ is placed initially at rest at a point on the $z$-axis with $z=z_0$ and $z_0 > 0$. In addition to the Coulomb force,the particle experiences a vertical force $\vec{F} = -c\hat{k}$ with $c > 0$. Let $\beta = \frac{2c\epsilon_0}{q\sigma}$. Which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) correct?
$(A)$ For $\beta = \frac{1}{4}$ and $z_0 = \frac{25}{7}R$,the particle reaches the origin.
$(B)$ For $\beta = \frac{1}{4}$ and $z_0 = \frac{3}{7}R$,the particle reaches the origin.
$(C)$ For $\beta = \frac{1}{4}$ and $z_0 = \frac{R}{\sqrt{3}}$,the particle returns back to $z=z_0$.
$(D)$ For $\beta > 1$ and $z_0 > 0$,the particle always reaches the origin.

$A$ particle of mass $m$ and charge $q$ is kept at the top of a fixed frictionless sphere. $A$ uniform horizontal electric field $E$ is switched on. The particle loses contact with the sphere when the line joining the center of the sphere and the particle makes an angle $45^{\circ}$ with the vertical. The ratio $\frac{qE}{mg}$ is:

As shown in the figure,a point charge $q_{1} = +1 \times 10^{-8} \ C$ is placed at the origin in the $x-y$ plane and another point charge $q_{2} = +3 \times 10^{-6} \ C$ is placed at the coordinate $(10, 0)$. In that case,which of the following graph$(s)$ shows most correctly the electric field vector $E_{x}$ in the $x$-direction?
