A particle of mass ( m ) and charge ( q ) is placed at rest in uniform electric field ( E ) and then released. The kinetic energy attained by the particle after moving a distance ( y ) is
Options
- AqEy
- B( q E y² )
- C( q² E y )
- D( q E² y )
Correct answer
A. qEy
Step-by-step solution
(A) Velocity gained after moving a distance ( y ) is ( v²=u²+2 a y ) Here ( u =0 ) and ( a = q E m ) ( v²=2 ( q E m ) y ) Kinetic energy, ( E= 1 2 m v² ) ( = 1 2 m (2 q E m y ) ) ( E = qEy )
