- A For and , the particle reaches the origin.
- B For and , the particle reaches the origin.
- C For and , the particle returns back to
- D For and , the particle always reaches the origin.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) For and , the particle reaches the origin.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
For the particle to reach at origin, work done by the force should be greater than the increase in the potential energy of the charged particle. Therefore,
