A large metal plate has a surface charge density of 8.85×10-6 C m-2. An electron having initial kinetic energy of 8×10-17 J is moving towards the center of the plate. If the electron stops just before reaching the plate then the initial distance between the electron and the plate is [Take ε0=8.85×10-12 C2 N m-2]

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 0.5 mm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Electric field due to an infinite sheet of charge having surface density σ is E=σε0. Now using energy conservation we can write, gain in potential energy = loss in kinetic energy…
