A uniformly charged ring of radius 3 a and total charge q is placed in x ‐ y plane centred at origin. A point charge q is moving towards the ring along the z - axis and has speed v at z = 4 a . The minimum value of v such that it crosses the origin is:
Options
- A2 m 1 15 q 2 4 π ϵ 0 a 1 / 2
- B2 m 4 15 q 2 4 π ϵ 0 a 1 / 2
- C2 m 1 5 q 2 4 π ϵ 0 a 1 / 2
- D2 m 2 15 q 2 4 π ϵ 0 a 1 / 2
Correct answer
D. 2 m 2 15 q 2 4 π ϵ 0 a 1 / 2
Step-by-step solution
From the conservation of energy, 1 4 π ε 0 q 2 3 a 2 + 4 a 2 + 1 2 m v 2 = 1 4 π ε 0 q 2 3 a v = q 2 4 π ε 0 a × 2 15 × 2 m = 2 m 2 15 q 2 4 π ε 0 a 1 / 2
