An electron falls through a distance of \(1.5\) cm in a uniform electric field of magnitude \(2\times10^4\) N/C [figure (a)]. The direction of the field is reversed keeping its magnitude unchanged and a proton falls through the same distance [figure (b)]. If \(t_e\) and \(t_p\) are the time of fall for electron and proton respectively, then:

   
1. \(t_e=t_p\)
2. \(t_e>t_p\)
3. \(t_e<t_p\)
4. none of these

Three charges \(q,~q,~-q\)  are placed at the three corners of an equilateral triangle \(ABC\), of side \(a.\)
              
The mid-point of side \(AB\) is \(P\) while the circumcenter of \(ABC\) is \(O\). Let the electric field at \(P\) be \(E_p\) and that at \(O\) be \(E_O.\)
Then, \(E_O:E_P=\)

Identical point charges (\(q\) each), are placed at the eight corners of a cube of side \(a.\) When one of the charges is removed, the electric field at the center becomes \(E_c.\)
Now, identical point charges (same magnitude \(q\) each), are placed at the four corners of a square of side \(a.\) When one of the charges is removed, the electric field at the center becomes \(E_s.\) Then,
1. \(\dfrac{E_s}{2}=\dfrac{E_C}{3}\)
2. \(\dfrac{E_s}{3}=\dfrac{E_C}{2}\)
3. \(\dfrac{E_s}{\sqrt2}=\dfrac{E_C}{\sqrt3}\)
4. \(\dfrac{E_s}{\sqrt3}=\dfrac{E_C}{\sqrt2}\)
