An infinitely long thin non-conducting wire is parallel to the z-axis and carries a uniform line charge density λ. It pierces a thin non-conducting spherical shell of radius R in such a way that the arc PQ subtends an angle 120° at the centre O of the spherical shell, as shown in the figure. The permittivity of free space is ε0. Which of the following statements (are) true?

Two small particles A and B having masses m=0.5 kg each and charge q1=-15518μC and q2=+100μC respectively, are connected at the ends of a non-conducting, flexible and inextensible string of length r=0.5 m. Particle A is fixed and B is whirled along a vertical circle with centre at A. If a vertically upward electric field of strength E=1.1×105NC-1 exists in the space, the minimum velocity of the particle B at the highest position is (in m/s ) so that it may just complete the circle. g=10 ms-2 (Approximate the answer to the nearest integer.)

Two charged particles m,q and 2m,-2q are placed in a gravity free space where a uniform electric field E exists as shown in figure. After the particles are released they stay at a constant distance from each other. What is the square of distance between them in meter-square? (Neglected the gravitational interaction, take q4πε0E=200 metre-square)

A particle of mass 10-3 kg and charge 1.0 C is initially at rest. At time t=0, the particle comes under the influence of an electric field Et=E0sinωti^, where E0=1.0 N C-1 and ω=103 rad s-1. Consider the effect of only the electrical force on the particle. Then the maximum speed in m s-1 attained by the particle at subsequent times is:
