Question
A particle of mass 2 g and charge 1μC is held at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface at a distance of 1 m from a fixed charge of 1 μC. If the particle is released it will be repelled. The speed of the particle when it is at distance of 10 m from the fixed charge is:
Options
A.100 m/s
B.90 m/s
C.60 m/s
D.45 m/s
Solution
By conservation of machenical energy
(2 × 10-3) v2 = 9 × 109 × 10-6 × 10-3
or v2 = 9 × 103 ×
or v = 90 m/sec
(2 × 10-3) v2 = 9 × 109 × 10-6 × 10-3or v2 = 9 × 103 ×
or v = 90 m/secCreate a free account to view solution
