Most Important Selected Qs for JEE AdvancedPhysicsElectrostatics
A particle of mass m and charge -q has been projected from ground as shown in the figure below. Mark out the correct statements (s) :-
Options
- AThe path of motion of the particle is parabolic
- BThe path of motion of the particle is a straight line
- CTime of flight of particle is 2 u g
- DRange of motion of the particle will be less than u^2 2 g
Correct answer
D. Range of motion of the particle will be less than u^2 2 g
Step-by-step solution
Along X axis, u _ x = u , a _ x =- qE m Along Y axis, u _ y = u , a _ y =- g Equations of motion along X and Y axes would be x=u t- q E 2 m t^2 and y=u t- 1 2 g t^2 Time of flight remains unchanged as vertical motion is not affected by E . Range of the particle in the present case is always less than u^2 2 ~g whatever be the value of E. R = x _ t = T = u 2 u g - 1 2 qE m [ 2 u g ]^2 u ^2 2 ~g
