An electron falls from rest through a vertical distance h in a uniform and vertically upward directed electric field E. The direction of electric field is now reversed, keeping its magnitude the same. A proton is allowed to fall from rest in it through the same vertical distance h. The time of fall of the electron, in comparison to the time of fall of the proton is

A toy car with charge q moves on a frictionless horizontal plane surface under the influence of a uniform electric field E. Due to the force  qE, its velocity increases from 0 to 6 m s-1 in one second duration. At that instant the direction of the field is reversed. The car continues to move for two more seconds under the influence of this field. The average  velocity and the average speed of the toy car between 0 to 3 seconds are respectively

Statement 1: For a charged particle moving from point P to point Q, the net work done by an electrostatic field on the particle is independent of the path connecting point P to point Q.

Statement 2: The net work done by a conservative force on an object moving along a closed loop is zero.

Two identically charged spheres are suspended by strings of equal lengths. The strings make an angle of 30° with each other. When suspended in a liquid of density 0.8 g cm-3, the angle remains the same. If the density of the material of the sphere is 1.6 g cm-3, the dielectric constant of the liquid is

Two identical charged spheres suspended from a common point by two massless strings of length l are initially a distance dd<<l apart because of their mutual repulsion. The charge begins to leak from both the spheres at a constant rate. As a result, the charges approach each other with a velocity v. Then as a function of distance x between them

Two positive charges of magnitude q are placed at the ends of a side (side 1) of a square of side 2a. Two negative charges of the same magnitude are kept at the other corners. Starting from rest, if a charge Q moves from the middle of side 1 to the centre of square, its kinetic energy at the centre of square is,
