$A$ small sphere of mass $m$ carrying a charge $q$ is hanging between two parallel plates by a string of length $L$ as shown in the figure. The time period of the pendulum is $T_0$. When the parallel plates are charged as shown,the time period changes to $T$. The ratio $T / T_0$ is equal to:

  • A
    $\left(\frac{g+\frac{q E}{m}}{g}\right)$
  • B
    $\left(\frac{g}{g+\frac{q E}{m}}\right)^{3 / 2}$
  • C
    $\left(\frac{g}{g+\frac{q E}{m}}\right)^{1 / 2}$
  • D
    None of these

$A$ charged particle (mass $m$ and charge $q$) moves along the $X$-axis with velocity $V_{0}$. When it passes through the origin,it enters a region having a uniform electric field $\overrightarrow{E} = -E \hat{j}$ which extends up to $x = d$. What is the equation of the path of the electron in the region $x > d$?

An electron falls through a distance of $1.5 \; cm$ in a uniform electric field of magnitude $2.0 \times 10^{4} \; N C^{-1}$ [Figure $(a)$]. The direction of the field is reversed keeping its magnitude unchanged and a proton falls through the same distance [Figure $(b)$]. Compute the time of fall in each case. Contrast the situation with that of 'free fall under gravity'.
