A charged particle 'q' is shot towards another charged particle 'Q', which is fixed, with a speed 'v'. It approaches 'Q' up to a closest distance r and then returns. If q were given a speed '2v', the closest distance of approach would be:

Two insulating plates are both uniformly charged in such a way that the potential difference between them is V2-V1=20 V. (i.e. plate 2 is at a higher potential). The plates are separated by d=0.1 m and can be treated as infinitely large. An electron is released from rest on the inner surface of plate 1. What is its speed when it hits plate 2? e=1.6×10-19C, me=9.11×10-31 kg
