To solve the problem of finding the maximum horizontal distance traveled by a charged particle projected in a uniform electric field and under the influence of gravity, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Analyze the Motion The particle is projected with an initial speed \( u \) at an angle \( \theta \) to the horizontal. We can resolve this initial velocity into horizontal and vertical components: - Horizontal component: \( u_x = u \cos \theta \) - Vertical component: \( u_y = u \sin \theta \) ### Step 2: Determine the Forces Acting on the Particle ...
