A charged particle P enters the region between two parallel plates with a velocity u in a direction parallel to the plates. There is a uniform electric field in this region. P emerges from this region with a velocity v. Taking α as a constant, v will depend on u as(a) v = αu(b) v = √(u2 + αu)(c) v = √(u2 + α/u)(d) v = √(u2 + α/u2)

Answer»

Correct Answer is: (d) v = (u2 + α/u2)

Let l be the length of each plate and ux = u = constant.

∴ the time of travel between the plates is given by t = l/u.

Let a be the constant acceleration in the y-direction.

∴ vy = at when the particle emerges from the plates.

∴ v2 = ux2 + vy2 = u2 + a2t2 = u2 + a2 l2/u2 = u2 + α/u2.
