Two particles $X$ and $Y$, of equal mass and with unequal positive charges, are free to move and are initially far away from each other. With $Y$ at rest, $X$ begins to move towards it with initial velocity $u$. After a long time, finally

  • A
    $X$ will stop, $Y$ will move with velocity $u$.
  • B
    $X$ and $Y$ will both move with velocities $u/2$ each.
  • C
    $X$ will stop, $Y$ will move with velocity < $u$.
  • D
    both will move with velocities < $u/2$.

Two identical positive charges are fixed on the $y$-axis, at equal distances from the origin $O$. $A$ particle with a negative charge starts on the $x$-axis at a large distance from $O$, moves along the $+x$-axis, passes through $O$, and moves far away from $O$. Its acceleration $a$ is taken as positive in the positive $x$-direction. The particle's acceleration $a$ is plotted against its $x$-coordinate. Which of the following best represents the plot?

Two fixed,identical conducting plates $(\alpha)$ and $(\beta)$,each of surface area $S$,are charged to $-Q$ and $q$,respectively,where $Q > q > 0$. $A$ third identical plate $(\gamma)$,free to move,is located on the other side of the plate with charge $q$ at a distance $d$ as per the figure. The third plate is released and collides with the plate $(\beta)$. Assume the collision is elastic and the time of collision is sufficient to redistribute charge amongst $(\beta)$ and $(\gamma)$.
$(a)$ Find the electric field acting on the plate $(\gamma)$ before collision.
$(b)$ Find the charges on $(\beta)$ and $(\gamma)$ after the collision.
$(c)$ Find the velocity of the plate $(\gamma)$ after the collision and at a distance $d$ from the plate $(\beta)$.
