An electron enters an electric field with its velocity in the direction of the electric lines of force. Then:

$A$ particle of mass $m$ and charge $q$ is fastened to one end $A$ of a massless string having equilibrium length $\ell$,whose other end is fixed at point $O$. The whole system is placed on a frictionless horizontal plane and is initially at rest. If a uniform electric field $E$ is switched on along the $x$-direction as shown in the figure,then the speed of the particle when it crosses the $x$-axis is

In Millikan's experiment,an oil drop having charge $q$ becomes stationary upon applying a potential difference $V$ between two plates separated by a distance $d$. The weight of the drop is

$A$ particle of mass $m$ and charge $(-q)$ enters the region between two charged plates,initially moving along the $x$-axis with speed $v_{x}$ (like particle $1$ in the Figure). The length of the plate is $L$ and a uniform electric field $E$ is maintained between the plates. Show that the vertical deflection of the particle at the far edge of the plate is $q E L^{2} / (2 m v_{x}^{2})$. Compare this motion with the motion of a projectile in a gravitational field.

$A$ uniform vertical electric field $E$ is established in the space between two large parallel plates. $A$ small conducting sphere of mass $m$ is suspended in the field from a string of length $L$. If the sphere is given a $+q$ charge and the lower plate is charged positively,the period of oscillation of this pendulum is:
