JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 2. Electric potential and capacitance
A positive point charge is released from rest at a distance \(r_0\) from a positive line charge with uniform density. The speed \((v)\) of the point charge, as a function of instantaneous distance \(r\) from line charge, is proportional to

- A \(v \propto {e^{ + r/{r_0}}}\)
- B \(v \propto \ln \left( {\frac{r}{{{r_0}}}} \right)\)
- C \(v \propto \sqrt {\ln \left( {\frac{r}{{{r_0}}}} \right)} \)
- D \(v \propto \left( {\frac{r}{{{r_0}}}} \right)\)
