Question: The electric field in a region is radially outward with magnitude E=Aγ0 . The charge contained in a sphere of radius γ0 centered at the origin is [AMU 1999]

Options:

A) 1.77mm

B) 3.51mm

C) 1.77cm

D) 3.51cm

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Let an electron is projected towards the plate from the r distance as shown in fig.

It will not strike the plate if and only if KE £ e(E×r) (where E = Electric field due to charge plate =σ2ε0 ) therefore rKEeE .

Hence minimum value of r is given by r=KEeE=200eVe×σ2ε0

=400×8.86×10122×106=1.77mm
