Detailed explanation
Force between two particles is given as
\( F=\frac{1}{4 \Pi \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{q_{1} q_{2}}{r^{2}} \) Now, work done by force \( =\int_{1}^{10} F d r=\int_{1}^{10} \frac{1}{4 \Pi \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{q_{1} q_{2}}{r^{2}} d r \) \( =\frac{1}{4 \Pi \varepsilon_{0}} q_{1} q_{2} \int_{1}^{10} \frac{1}{r^{2}} d r=\frac{1}{4 \Pi \varepsilon_{0}} q_{1} q_{2}\left(\left.\cdot \frac{-1}{4}\right|_{1} ^{10}\right) \) \( =\frac{1}{4 \Pi \varepsilon_{0}} q_{1} q_{2}\left(1-\frac{1}{10}\right)=\frac{1}{4 \Pi \varepsilon_{0}} q_{1} q_{2} \times \frac{9}{10} \rightarrow(1) \)
This work is stored in form of kinetic energy. Therefore,
\(W=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2} \)
\(\Rightarrow v^{2}=\frac{2 W}{m}=\frac{2}{1 \times 10^{-3}} \frac{1}{4 \Pi \varepsilon_{0}} q_{1} q_{2} \times \frac{9}{10}[\text { [Using Eq. (1)] } \)
\(\Rightarrow v^{2}=\frac{2}{1 \times 10^{-3}} \times 9 \times 10^{9} \times\left(1 \times 10^{-6} \times 2 \times 10^{-3}\right) \times \frac{9}{10} \)
\(=2 \times 2 \times 9 \times 9 \times 100 \)
\(\Rightarrow v=2 \times 9 \times 10=180 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
\( F=\frac{1}{4 \Pi \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{q_{1} q_{2}}{r^{2}} \) Now, work done by force \( =\int_{1}^{10} F d r=\int_{1}^{10} \frac{1}{4 \Pi \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{q_{1} q_{2}}{r^{2}} d r \) \( =\frac{1}{4 \Pi \varepsilon_{0}} q_{1} q_{2} \int_{1}^{10} \frac{1}{r^{2}} d r=\frac{1}{4 \Pi \varepsilon_{0}} q_{1} q_{2}\left(\left.\cdot \frac{-1}{4}\right|_{1} ^{10}\right) \) \( =\frac{1}{4 \Pi \varepsilon_{0}} q_{1} q_{2}\left(1-\frac{1}{10}\right)=\frac{1}{4 \Pi \varepsilon_{0}} q_{1} q_{2} \times \frac{9}{10} \rightarrow(1) \)

\(=2 \times 2 \times 9 \times 9 \times 100 \)
\(\Rightarrow v=2 \times 9 \times 10=180 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
