Solution

The correct option is A 4 μs
Given:
Intensity of electric field E=123 N/C;
Distance of the particle perpendicular to plate is s=10 cm=10×102 m

As we know that

F=qE

F=1.6×1019×123=1.968×1017 N

From Newton's law of motion

F=ma

a=Fm

a=1.968×10171.6×1027=1.23×1010 m/s2

Further, from equation of motion

s=ut+12at2

from question, u=0

10×102=0+12×1.23×1010×t2

t=2×10×1021.23×10104×106 s

t4 μs

Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.
