Important Questions on Electrostatics


A charged particle (mass and charge ) moves along axis with velocity . When it passes through the origin it enters a region having uniform electric field which extends upto . Equation of path of electron in the region is:



Charges and are at points and of a right-angled triangle . The resultant electric field at point is perpendicular to the hypotenuse, then is proportional to:










A uniform electric field, is applied in a region. A charged particle of mass carrying positive charge is projected in this region with an initial speed of . This particle is aimed to hit a target , which is away from its entry point into the field as shown schematically in the figure. Take . Then



Three charged particles and with charges and are present on the circumference of a circle of radius The charged particles and centre of the circle formed an equilateral triangle as shown in the figure. The electric field at the point is
