Easy MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2022

A positive charge particle of 100 mg is thrown in opposite direction to a uniform electric field of strength 1 $\times$ 105 NC$-$1. If the charge on the particle is 40 $\mu$C and the initial velocity is 200 ms$-$1, how much distance it will travel before coming to the rest momentarily :

  1. A 1 m
  2. B 5 m
  3. C 10 m
  4. D 0.5 m Correct answer

Solution

<p>${v^2} - {u^2} = 2as$</p> <p>$\Rightarrow {0^2} - {200^2} = 2\left( {{{ - qE} \over m}} \right)(S)$</p> <p>$$ \Rightarrow - {200^2} = 2\left[ {{{ - 40 \times {{10}^{ - 6}} \times {{10}^5}} \over {100 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}}}} \right][S]$$</p> <p>$\Rightarrow S = {4 \over {2 \times 4}}$ m = 0.5 m</p>
