A charged particle X moves directly towards another charged particle Y. For the X plus Y system, the total momentum is p and the total energy is E.A. (a) p and E are conserved if both X and Y are free to move.B. (b) (a) is true only if X and Y have similar charges.C. (c) If Y is fixed, E is conserved but not P.D. (d) If Y is fixed, neither E nor P is conserved. |

Answer» Correct Answer - A::C Energy will be conserved whether Y is fixed or free to move because no dissipating force is present. But momentum will be conserved only if Y is free to move, because then external force will be zero. |
