    A particle of charge $q$ and mass $m$ is subjected to an electric field $E = E _{0}\left(1- ax ^{2}\right)$ in the $x-$direction, where $a$ and $E _{0}$ are constants. Initially the particle was at rest at $x=0 .$ Other than the initial position the kinetic energy of the particle becomes zero when the distance of the particle from the origin is

    Two positrons $(e^+)$ and two protons $(p)$ are kept on four corners of a square of side $a$ as shown in figure. The mass of proton is much larger than the mass of positron. Let $q$ denotes the charge on the proton as well as the positron then the kinetic energies of one of the positrons and one of the protons respectively after a very long time will be-

    The plates of a capacitor are charged to a potential difference of $320 \, volts$ and are then connected across a resistor. The potential difference across the capacitor decays exponentially with time. After $1 $ second the potential difference between the plates of the capacitor is $240 \, volts$, then after $2$ and $3$ seconds the potential difference between the plates will be

    A problem of practical interest is to make a beam of electrons turn at $90^o$ corner. This can be done with the electric field present between the parallel plates as shown in the figure. An electron with kinetic energy $8.0 × 10^{-17}\ J$ enters through a small hole in the bottom plate. The strength of electric field that is needed if the electron is to emerge from an exit hole $1.0\ cm$ away from the entrance hole, traveling at right angles to its original direction is $y × 10^5\ N/C$ . The value of $y$ is
