2. Three charges (each +q) are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle. Find the net electric field intensity at the

3. A particle of mass m and charge q is thrown at a speed u against a uniform electric field, how much distance will it travel
before coming to momentary rest.(Ans:-mu2/2qE)
4. A uniform electric field E is created between two parallels charged plates as shown in the figure. An electron enters the
field symmetrically between the plates with the speed v0. The length of each plate is l. Find the angle of deviation of the
path of the electron as it comes out of the field.(Ans-=Tan-1eEl/mv02).Also show that the vertical deflection of the
Particle at the far edge of the plate is qEl2/2mv02 + + + + + + + ++ ++ + + (N.C.E.R.T)
