A non-conducting disc of radius a and uniform positive charge density σ is placed on ground, with its axis vertical. A particle of mass m and positive charge q is dropped along the axis of disc from a height H with zero initial velocity. The particle has charge to mass ratio m q = σ 4 g ϵ 0 . The ratio a H such that the particle barely reaches the disc can be expressed as n 2 n 1 where n 1 , n 2 are coprime integers. Calculate the value of n 1 + n 2 .
Details and assumptions
∙ ϵ 0 is permittivity of free space and g is acceleration due to gravity.
∙ Particle does not radiate while accelerating.
∙ This problem is taken from IIT 1999 question paper.

You can also use I Newton's law but why would you solve 2nd order dif. equation when you can solve 1st order(conversation law). :D
NO the solution given is absolutely correct. Great Job!!
Dear Aman, you gave a wrong expression for the mass (m) versus charge (q) relation m/q, if you really want the readers to get your answer (7).
Yes Sir ! You r correct! I'am amazed How other's get right answer ? They even don't report it
@Aman Sharma Can you Please Rephrased This question ? Thanks

@Aman Sharma – Well , I started preparation from 11th class (But I was Serious in 12th :) due to which I suffered Lot :) )

We Use Energy Conservation ! (take reference for gravitational Potential energy at disc)
U f , g r a v . + K f + U f , E l e c t = U i , g r a v . + K i + U i , E l e c t .
0 + 0 + q V f = m g H + 0 + q V i q ( 2 ϵ σ R ) = m g H + q ( 2 ϵ σ ( H 2 + R 2 − H ) ) .
after solving this this simple equation by substituting the given value of specific Charge ratio we should get :
H = 3 2 R . Answer
Note :Here I used Directly General Standard expression for electric Potential at hight 'x' is given by : V ( x ) = 2 ϵ σ ( x 2 + R 2 − x ) .
