A positively charged particle enters the region between two parallel plates with a velocity , in a direction parallel to the plates. There is a uniform electric field in this region. emerges from this region with a velocity .

Taking as a constant, will depend on as



Important Questions on Coulomb's Law and Electric Field
A conducting spherical shell is earthed. A positive charge is placed at the centre and another small positive charge is placed at a distance from (see figure). Ignore the effect of induced charge due to the on the sphere. Then the Coulomb force on is

A conducting spherical shell is neutral. A positive charge is placed at the centre and another small positive charge is placed at a distance from (see figure). Ignore the effect of induced charge due to on the sphere. The force on is


An electric dipole consists of charges separated by a distance of . It is placed at a distance of from a line charge of linear charge density as shown in the figure such that the dipole makes an angle of with line . Find the force acting on the dipole.



Three positive point charges , and from an isolated system. Suppose the charges have generated a property due to which like charges also attract. The charges are moving along a circle with the same speed maintaining angles as shown in the figure. The charge experiences a force due to the other two charges. Similarly, experiences a force and , a force . The ratio is
