A particle of charge Q moves with speed v directly towards another particle of charge Q^ which is connected to a light spring. The far end of the spring is fixed to a smooth horizontal table. Let P and E be the total momentum and energy of the charge-spring system respectively. Ignore gravity. Then,
Options
- AE is conserved but not P .
- Bneither P nor E is conserved.
- Cboth P and E are conserved.
- DP is conserved but not E .
