An infinitely long positively charged straight thread has a linear charge density . An electron revolves along a circular path having axis along the length of the wire. The graph that correctly represents the variation of the kinetic energy of electron as a function of radius of circular path from the wire is :








Options
- A

- B

- C

- D

Correct answer
C. 
Step-by-step solution
Electric field at a distance due to infinite long wire is Force of electron \begin{aligned} \mathrm{F} & =\frac{\mathrm{m}^2}{\mathrm{r}}=\frac{2 \mathrm{k} \lambda \mathrm{e}}{\mathrm{r}} \\ \mathrm{v} & =\sqrt{\frac{2 \mathrm{k} \lambda \mathrm{e}}{\mathrm{m}}} \\ \mathrm{KE} & =\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mv}^2=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~m}\left(\frac{2 \mathrm{k} \lambda \mathrm{e}}{\mathrm{m}}\right) \\ & =\mathrm{k} \lambda \mathrm{e} \end{aligned}$$
