An \(100 \mathrm{eV}\) electron is fired directly towards a large metal plate having surface charge density \(-2 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{Cm}^{-2}\). The distance from where the electron be projected, so that it just fails to strike the plate is

  1. A \(0.22 \mathrm{~mm}\)
  2. B \(0.44 \mathrm{~mm}\)
  3. C \(0.66 \mathrm{~mm}\)
  4. D \(0.88 \mathrm{~mm}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(0.44 \mathrm{~mm}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that, initial kinetic energy of electrons, \(K_i=100 \mathrm{eV}\) Initial potential energy, \(U_i=0\) Let \(K_f\) and \(U_f\) be final kinetic and potential energies, \(\therefore \quad K_f=0\) By using law of conservation of energy, \(K_i+U_i=K_f+U_f\) \(U_f=K_i\)…
