Consider the situation shown in figure. The plates of the capacitor have plate area A and are clamped in the laboratory. The dielectric slab is released from rest with a length a inside the capacitor. Neglecting any effect of friction or gravity, show that the slab will execute periodic motion and find its time period.
An adiabatic vessel of total volume V is divided into two equal parts by a conducting separator. The separator is fixed in this position. The part on the left contains one mole of an ideal gas (U = 1.5nRT) and the part on the right contains two moles of the same gas. Initially, the pressure on each side is p. The system is left for sufficient time so that a steady state is reached. Find,
- The work done by the gas in the left part during the process.
- The temperature on the two sides in the beginning.
- The final common temperature reached by the gases.
- The heat given to the gas in the right part.
- The increase in the internal energy of the gas in the left part.

An electron is emitted with negligible speed from the negative plate of a parallel-plate capacitor charged to a potential difference V. The separation between the plates is d and a magnetic field Bexists in the space, as shown in the figure. Show that the electron will fail to strike the upper plates if $\text{d}>\Big(\frac{2\text{m}_\text{e}\text{v}}{\text{eB}^2}\Big)^{\frac{1}{2}}.$
