A disk of radius with uniform positive charge density is placed on the plane with its center at the origin. The Coulomb potential along the -axis is
A particle of positive charge is placed initially at rest at a point on the -axis with and . In addition to the Coulomb force, the particle experiences a vertical force \overset{\to}{F} = - c\overset{^}{k} with . Let . Which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct?
Options
- AFor and , the particle reaches the origin.
- BFor and , the particle reaches the origin.
- CFor and , the particle returns back to
- DFor and , the particle always reaches the origin.
Correct answer
A. For and , the particle reaches the origin.
Step-by-step solution
For the particle to reach at origin, work done by the force should be greater than the increase in the potential energy of the charged particle. Therefore,
For option A
Since,
Option A is correct.
For option B
Since,
Option B is incorrect
For option C
Since,
Therefore, the particle returns to
Hence, option C is correct.
For option D,
For any value of
Hence, option D is correct.
