A body having specific charge \(8\,\mu {C} / {g}\) is resting on a frictionless plane at a distance \(10\, {cm}\) from the wall (as shown in the figure). It starts moving towards the wall when a uniform electric field of \(100 \,{V} / {m}\) is applied horizontally toward the wall. If the collision of the body with the wall is perfectly elastic, then the time period of the motion will be \(....\, S.\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(F=m a\)

\(q E=m a\)

\(a=\frac{q E}{m}\)

Now \(d=\frac{1}{2} a t^{2}\)

\(t=\sqrt{\frac{2 d}{a}}\)

\(t=\sqrt{\frac{2 d}{\left(\frac{q E}{m}\right)}}\)

\(t=\frac{2 \times 0.1}{\left(\frac{8 \times 10^{-6}}{m 10^{-3}}\right) \times 100}=\frac{1}{2}\)
