Two large non conducting plates having surface charge densities +σ and-σ respectively, are fixed d distance apart. A small test charge q of mass m is attached to two non conducting springs each of spring constant k as shown in the figure. The sum of lengths of both springs in undeformed state is d. The charge q is released from rest with both the springs nondeformed. Then charge q will (neglect gravity)

Two insulating plates are both uniformly charged in such a way that the potential difference between them is V2-V1=20V. (,ie, plate 2 is at a higher potential). The plates are separated by d=0.1m and can be treated as infinitely large. An electron is released from rest on the inner surface of plate 1. What is its speed when it hits plate 2? e(=1.6×10-19C,m0=9.11×10-31kg)
