Uniform electric field of \(5 \times 10^3\,NC^{-1}\) is maintained in the positive Y direction. Now a point charge of \(2 \times 10^{-4}C\) at rest is released from the origin. The kinetic energy attained by the charge when it is 5 m from the origin is:
- A \(5\) J
- B \(50\) J
- C \(10\) J
- D \(25\) J
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(5\) J
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The force experienced by the point charge in the uniform electric field is given by \(F = qE\). Since the charge is released from rest, it moves along the direction of the electric field (positive Y direction). The work done by the electric field when the charge moves a distance…
