(a) Let an electron is projected towards the plate from the $r$ distance as shown in fig.
It will not strike the plate if and only if $KE \leq e(E\cdot r)$ (where $E$ $=$ Electric field due to charge plate $ = \frac{\sigma }{{2{\varepsilon _0}}}$)
$==>$ $r \ge \frac{{KE}}{{eE}}$. Hence minimum value of $r$ is given by
$r = \frac{{KE}}{{eE}} = \frac{{200\,eV}}{{e \times \frac{\sigma }{{2{\varepsilon _0}}}}}$$ = \frac{{400 \times 8.86 \times {{10}^{ - 12}}}}{{2 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}}} = 1.77\,mm$

    This questions has statement$-1$ and statement$-2$. Of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describe the two statements.
    An insulating solid sphere of radius $R$ has a uniformly
    positive charge density $\rho$. As a result of this uniform charge distribution there is a finite value of electric potential at the centre of the sphere, at the surface of the sphere and also at a point out side the sphere. The electric potential at infinite is zero.

    Statement$ -1$ : When a charge $q$ is take from the centre of the surface of the sphere its potential energy changes by  $\frac{{q\rho }}{{3{\varepsilon _0}}}$

    Statement$ -2$ : The electric field at a distance $r(r < R)$  from centre of the sphere is $\frac{{\rho r}}{{3{\varepsilon _0}}}$
