Comment on your result in the light of your answer to part that is calculation of charge density. Why it is stated that wire is long

The diagram shows the equipotential lines for two equal and opposite charges. Draw the electric field lines for these two charges.

The two long plates are separated by a distance of . The bottom plate is kept at a potential of and the top at . A charge is placed at a point from the bottom plate.
Find the electric potential energy of the charge.

The two long plates are separated by a distance of . The bottom plate is kept at a potential of and the top at . A charge is placed at a point from the bottom plate.
The charge is then moved vertically up to a point from the top plate.
What is the electric potential energy of the charge now

The two long plates are separated by a distance of . The bottom plate is kept at a potential of and the top at . A charge is placed at a point from the bottom plate.
The charge is then moved vertically up to a point from the top plate.
How much work was done on the charge

An electron is shot with a speed equal to from a point where the electric potential is zero towards an immovable negative charge (see the diagram).
Determine the potential at so that the electron stops momentarily at and turns back. (Use
