Q144 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2022 (18 Jul Shift 2) · Physics
A large metal plate has a surface charge density of . An electron having initial kinetic energy of is moving towards the center of the plate. If the electron stops just before reaching the plate then the initial distance between the electron and the plate is [Take ]
- Correct answerA
- B
- C
- D
Solution
Electric field due to an infinite sheet of charge having surface density is .
Now using energy conservation we can write,
gain in potential energy = loss in kinetic energy
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
