An electron is moving with constant velocity along the $x$-axis. If a uniform electric field is applied along the $y$-axis,then its path in the $x-y$ plane will be:

  • A
    $A$ straight line
  • B
    $A$ circle
  • C
    $A$ parabola
  • D
    An ellipse

$A$ particle of mass $m$ and charge $(-q)$ enters the region between two charged plates,initially moving along the $x$-axis with a speed $v_{x} = 2.0 \times 10^{6} \; m \, s^{-1}$. If the electric field $E$ between the plates,which are separated by $0.5 \; cm$,is $9.1 \times 10^{2} \; N/C$,at what distance along the $x$-axis will the electron strike the upper plate (in $cm$)?
$(|e| = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \; C, m_{e} = 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \; kg)$

Two balls of charge $q_1$ and $q_2$ initially have a velocity of the same magnitude and direction. After a uniform electric field is applied for a certain time,the direction of the velocity of the first ball changes by $60^{\circ}$,and the velocity magnitude is reduced by half. The direction of the velocity of the second ball changes by $90^{\circ}$. In what proportion will the velocity of the second ball change? Determine the magnitude of the charge-to-mass ratio for the second ball if it is equal to $k_1$ for the first ball. The electrostatic interaction between the balls should be neglected.
