Figure shows two large cylindrical shells having uniform linear charge densities +λ and -λ. Radius of inner cylinder is a and that of outer cylinder is b. A charged particle of mass m, charge q revolves in a circle of radius r. Then, its speed v is : (Neglect gravity and assumes the radii of both the cylinders to be very small in comparison to their length.)

A charge q is uniformly distributed over a large plastic plate. The electric field at a point P close to the centre and just above the surface of the plate is 50 V m-1. If the plastic plate is replaced by a copper plate of the same geometrical dimensions and carrying the same uniform charge q, the electric field at the point P will become:
