A ring of the radius R has charge Q distributed uniformly over it. Calculate the charge that should be placed at the centre of the ring such that the electric field becomes zero at a point on the axis of the ring at distance R from the centre of the ring.

A charged particle q of mass m is in equilibrium at a height h from a horizontal infinite line charge with uniform linear charge density λ. The charge lies in the vertical plane containing the line charge. If the particle is displaced slightly (vertically), prove that the motion of the charged particle will be simple harmonic. Also find its time period.

Figure shows that E has the same value for all points in front of an infinitely charged sheet. Is this reasonable? One might think that the field should be stronger near the sheet, because the charges are so much closer

Two charged metal plates in vacuum are 10 cm apart. A uniform electric field of intensity 4516×103 N C-1 is applied between the plates. An electron is released between the plates from rest at a point just outside the negative plate.

(a) Calculate how long t will the electron take to reach the other plate.

(b) At what velocity v will it be going just before it hits the other plate?

An electron moving in a gravitational free space enters a uniform electric field E with an initial velocity v0 as shown in the figure.

(a) Find the deflection distance undefined in the field.

(b) Find an expression for the velocity of the electron when it just emerges from the field.

(c) Find an expression for the total deflection distance H at a vertical screen placed at a distance l from the region of the uniform field. (Assume that the field abruptly ends outside the field.)
