In figure, a particle having mass m=5 gm=5 \mathrm{~g} and charge q′=2×10−9Cq^{\prime}=2 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{C} starts from rest at point aa and moves in a straight line to point bb. What is its speed vv at point bb ? In figure, a particle having mass m=5 ~g and charge q^ =2 × 10^ -9 C starts from rest at point a and moves in a

Options

  1. A2.65cms−12.65 \mathrm{cms}^{-1}
  2. B3.65cms−13.65 \mathrm{cms}^{-1}
  3. C4.65cms−14.65 \mathrm{cms}^{-1}
  4. D5.65cms−15.65 \mathrm{cms}^{-1}

Correct answer

C. 4.65cms−14.65 \mathrm{cms}^{-1}

Step-by-step solution

In figure, a particle having mass m=5 ~g and charge q^ =2 × 10^ -9 C starts from rest at point a and moves in a
According to conservation of energy, we get Ka+Ua=Kb+UbK_a+U_a=K_b+U_b Here, Ka=0K_a=0 and the potential energies are Ua=q′VaU_a=q^{\prime} V_a and Ub=q′VbU_b=q^{\prime} V_b \begin{aligned} & \therefore 0+q^{\prime} V_a=\frac{1}{2} m v^2+q^{\prime} V_b \\ & \text { or } v=\sqrt{\frac{2 q^{\prime}\left(V_a-V_b\right)}{m}} \\ & V_a=\left(9.0 \times 10^9 \mathrm{Nm}^2 \mathrm{C}^{-2}\right) \end{aligned}\begin{array}{r} \left(\frac{3 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{C}}{0.01 \mathrm{~m}}+\frac{-3 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{C}}{0.02 \mathrm{~m}}\right)=1350 \mathrm{~V} \\ V_b=\left(9.0 \times 10^9 \mathrm{Nm}^2 \mathrm{C}^{-2}\right) \\ \left(\frac{3 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{C}}{0.02 \mathrm{~m}}+\frac{-3 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{C}}{0.01 \mathrm{~m}}\right)=-1350 \mathrm{~V} . \end{array}\begin{aligned} \therefore & v=\sqrt{\frac{2\left(2 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{C}\right)(2700 \mathrm{~V})}{5 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~kg}}}=4.65 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1} \\ & =4.65 \mathrm{~cm} \mathrm{~s}^{-1} \end{aligned}
