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
    $\frac{qV}{d}$
  • B
    $q\frac{d}{V}$
  • C
    $qVd$
  • D
    $q\frac{V}{d}$

$A$ $2 \ g$ object,located in a region of uniform electric field $E = (300 \ NC^{-1}) \hat{i}$,carries a charge $Q$. The object is released from rest at $x = 0$ and has a kinetic energy of $0.12 \ J$ at $x = 0.5 \ m$. Then,$Q$ is: (in $\mu C$)

$A$ charged particle with charge $q$ and mass $m$ starts with an initial kinetic energy $K$ at the center of a uniformly charged spherical region of total charge $Q$ and radius $R$. $q$ and $Q$ have opposite signs. The spherically charged region is not free to move. The value of $K$ is such that the particle will just reach the boundary of the spherically charged region. How much time does it take for the particle to reach the boundary of the region?

$A$ particle of mass $m$ and charge $q$ travelling with a velocity $v$ along the $x$-axis enters a uniform electric field $\overrightarrow{E}$ directed along the $y$-axis. What will be the trajectory of the particle?

An oil drop having a mass $4.8 \times 10^{-13} \,kg$ and charge $2.4 \times 10^{-18} \,C$ stands still between two charged horizontal plates separated by a distance of $1 \,cm$. If now the polarity of the plates is changed,the instantaneous acceleration of the drop is: $(g = 10 \,m/s^2)$ (in $\,m/s^2$)
