A particle of charge −q- q and mass mm moves in a circle of radius rr around an infinitely long line charge of linear density +λ+ \lambda. Then time period will be given as:
(Consider kk as Coulomb's constant)

Options

  1. AT2=4π2m2k\lambdaqr3{T}^{2} = \dfrac{4{\pi}^{2}m}{2k\lambdaq}{r}^{3}
  2. BT=2\pirm2k\lambdaqT = 2\pir\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{2k\lambdaq}}
  3. CT=12\pirm2k\lambdaqT = \dfrac{1}{2\pir}\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{2k\lambdaq}}
  4. DT=12π2k\lambdaqmT = \dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{2k\lambdaq}{m}}

Correct answer

B. T=2\pirm2k\lambdaqT = 2\pir\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{2k\lambdaq}}

Step-by-step solution

Attractive electrostatic force due to line charge on the charged particle will provide the required centripetal force. Therefore,

q(2kλr)=mω2rq\left(\dfrac{2k\lambda}{r}\right) = m{\omega}^{2}r

⇒ω2=2k\lambdaqmr2⇒ {\omega}^{2} = \dfrac{2k\lambdaq}{m{r}^{2}}

⇒(2πT)2=2k\lambdaqmr2⇒ {\left(\dfrac{2\pi}{T}\right)}^{2} = \dfrac{2k\lambdaq}{m{r}^{2}}

⇒T=2\pirm2k\lambdaq⇒ T = 2\pir\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{2k\lambdaq}}
