An electron is moving under the influence of the electric field of a uniformly charged infinite plane sheet S having surface charge density + . The electron at t=0 is at a distance of 1 m from S and has a speed of 1 m/s. The maximum value of if the electron strikes S at t=1 s is [ m 0e ] Cm2, the value of is .
Answer
8
Solution
Field of the sheet E= 2 0 ⇒ electron is pulled towards S with a= e 2 0 m
is maximum when the electron starts moving away from S (u=1 m/s away), so it must come back.
Take towards S as + ve: s=+1 m, u=-1 m/s, t=1 s
s=ut+ 12at2 1=-1+ a2 a=4 m/s2
e 2 0 m=4 =8 m 0e
=8
