Spring+Electrostatics Conceptual and Basic Question :

Q : A point mass m and charge q is connected with a massless spring of natural length l.Initially spring is in its natural length.If a horizontal UNIFORM electric field E is switched on , :

i. Find the separation of the point mass and wall at EQUILIBRIUM position of m . [ ans : l + qEk ]

ii. Find the maximum separation of the point mass and wall. [ ans : l + 2qEk ]

MY DOUBT : I JUST CANT UNDERSTAND HOW TO SOLVE DIFFERENTLY FOR MAX SEPERATION AND FOR EQUILIBRIUM POSITION ? PLS HELP ME...JUST GIVE ME THE CONCEPT..
