A particle of charge '-q' and mass 'm' moves in a circle of radius 'r' around an infinitely long line charge of linear charge density '+ '. Then time period will be given as : (Consider k as Coulomb's constant)
- T2= 4 2m2k qr3
- T= 12 r m2k q
- T= 12 2k qm
- T=2 r m2k q
Answer
(4) T=2 r m2k q
Solution
Field of a long line charge: E= 2k r
the attraction qE on -q provides the centripetal force:
2k qr= mv2r v= 2k qm
T= 2 rv=2 r m2k q
Answer: (4)
