A small charged ball is hovering in the state of equilibrium at a height h over a very large horizontal uniformly charged sheet. If a disc of radius r < < h , is removed from the plate directly underneath the ball, then the acceleration of the ball will be
Options
- Ag 2 r h 2
- Bg 2 h r 2
- Cg 4 r h 2
- Dg 4 h r 2
Correct answer
A. g 2 r h 2
Step-by-step solution
Initially, m g = q E ⇒ q m = g E Now, a disc of charge Q = σ × π r 2 is removed. As r < < h , we can treat disc as a point charge. The acceleration of the ball is a = q Q 4 π ε 0 h 2 m a = g 2 r h 2
