If a particle of mass 10 mg and charge \(2 \mu \mathrm{C}\) at rest is subjected to a uniform electric field of potential difference 160 V, then the velocity acquired by the particle is

  1. A \(9 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
  2. B \(4 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
  3. C \(6 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
  4. D \(8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \frac{1}{2} m v^2 = q \Delta V \) \( v = \sqrt{\frac{2 q \Delta V}{m}} = \sqrt{\frac{2 \times (2 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~C}) \times (160 \mathrm{~V})}{10 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~kg}}} = \sqrt{\frac{640 \times 10^{-6}}{10 \times 10^{-6}}} = \sqrt{64} = 8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1} \)
