Electrostatics Question 238

Question: A negatively charged plate has charge density of 2×106C/m2 . The initial distance of an electron which is moving toward plate, cannot strike the plate, if it is having energy of 200eV [RPET 1997]

Options:

A) Periodic for all values of z0 satisfying 0<z0<

B) Simple harmonic for all values of satisfying 0<z0<R

C) Approximately simple harmonic provided z0«R

D) Such that P crosses O and continues to move along the negative z axis towards z=

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A , C

Solution:

Here E=14πε0.Qz0(R2+z02)3/2 where Q is the charge on ring and z0 is the distance of the point from origin. Then F=qE=Qqz04πε0(R2+z02)3/2 When charge -q crosses origin, force is again towards centre i.e., motion is periodic. Now if z0«R F=14πε0.Qqz0R2

therefore Fz0 i.e., motion is S.H.M.
