Q.

A particle, of mass 10-3 kg and charge 1.0 C, is initially at rest. At time t=0, the particle comes under the influence of an electric field E(t)=E0sin(ωt)i^, where E0=1.0 NC-1 and ω=103 rad s-1. Consider the effect of only the electrical force on the particle. Then the maximum speed, in ms-1, attained by the particle at subsequent times is _______.            [2018]


Ans.

(2)

  F=ma    qE=mdvdt

dv=qEdtm=qsin(1000t)i^mdt

(E=sin(103t)i^ is given)

 0vdv=qm0π/ωsin(1000t)dt  [Maximum speed is attained at T2=2πω×2]

  v=-qm[cos(1000t)1000]0π/ω=-110-3[cos(1000t)1000]0π/ω

( m=10-3 kg, q=1 C, E0=1 N C-1, ω=103 rad s-1) given

 v=-[cos(1000×π1000)-cos0]=-[-1-1]=2 ms-1

Hence, the maximum speed attained by the particle.
