In a region of space,suppose there exists a uniform electric field $\vec{E} = 10 \hat{i} \text{ V/m}$. If a positive charge moves with a velocity $\vec{v} = -2 \hat{j} \text{ m/s}$,its potential energy:

  • A
    Increases
  • B
    Decreases
  • C
    Does not change
  • D
    Initially increases then decreases

$A$ particle of mass $m$ and charge $q$ is released from rest in a region of uniform electric field of intensity $E$. After traveling a distance $y$,the kinetic energy of the particle is:

In an ink-jet printer,an ink droplet of mass $m$ is given a negative charge $q$ by a computer-controlled charging unit,and then enters at speed $v$ in the region between two deflecting parallel plates of length $L$ separated by distance $d$ (see figure below). All over this region exists a downward electric field $E$ which you can assume to be uniform. Neglecting the gravitational force on the droplet,the maximum charge that can be given so that it will not hit a plate is close to :
