A positive charge particle of 100mg is thrown in opposite direction...

A positive charge particle of 100mg100mg is thrown in opposite direction to a uniform electric field of strength 1×105NC−11 \times {10}^{5}N{C}^{- 1}. If the charge on the particle is 40\muC40\muC and the initial velocity is 200ms−1200{ms}^{- 1}, how much distance it will travel before coming to the rest momentarily

Options

  1. A0.5m0 . 5m
  2. B1m1m
  3. C5m5m
  4. D10m10m

Correct answer

A. 0.5m0 . 5m

Step-by-step solution

Force experienced by a particle with charge qq in an electric field F=qEF = qE.

Now, the acceleration produced is given as a=Fm=qEma = \dfrac{F}{m} = \dfrac{qE}{m}=40×10−6×1051×10−4= \dfrac{40 \times {10}^{- 6} \times {10}^{5}}{1 \times {10}^{- 4}}

=4×104ms−2= 4 \times {10}^{4}m{s}^{- 2} (As the particle is projected against the electric field, hence it is decelerated)

Using, v2=u2−2as{v}^{2} = {u}^{2} - 2as

We have, 02=u2−2as{0}^{2} = {u}^{2} - 2as

s=v22a=(200)22×4×104=0.5ms = \dfrac{{v}^{2}}{2a} = \dfrac{{\left(200\right)}^{2}}{2 \times 4 \times {10}^{4}} = 0 . 5m
