A particle of charge - q and mass m moves in a circle of radius r around an infinitely long line charge of linear density + λ . Then time period will be given as: (Consider k as Coulomb's constant)
Options
- AT 2 = 4 π 2 m 2 k λ q r 3
- BT = 2 π r m 2 k λ q
- CT = 1 2 π r m 2 k λ q
- DT = 1 2 π 2 k λ q m
Correct answer
B. T = 2 π r m 2 k λ q
Step-by-step solution
Attractive electrostatic force due to line charge on the charged particle will provide the required centripetal force. Therefore, q 2 k λ r = m ω 2 r ⇒ ω 2 = 2 k λ q m r 2 ⇒ 2 π T 2 = 2 k λ q m r 2 ⇒ T = 2 π r m 2 k λ q
