Question

S Cutnell, Physics, 10e Practice- ORION Dow 24 m. A test charge (ao- 9.20 x 10 C), with a mass of Two identical point charges (q +3.30 x 106 C) are fixed at opposite corners of a square whose sides have a length of 0.530 3.40 x 10-d kg, is released from rest at one of the corners of the square. Determine the speed of the test charge when it reaches the center of the square.

Explanation / Answer

Given,

q = 3.3 x 10^-6 C ; a = 0.53 m

q0 = -9.2 x 10^-8 C ; m = 3.4 x 10^-8 kg

Let v be the speed.

from conservation of energy,

q (V2 - V1) = 1/2 m v^2

V1 = 2 k q/a

V1 = 2 x 9 x 10^9 x 3.3 x 10^-6/0.53 = 1.12 x 10^5 V

V2 = 2 k q/r

V2 = 2 x 9 x 10^9 x 3.3 x 10^-6/sqrt(2 x 0.265^2) = 1.58 x 10^5 V

V2 - V1 = (1.58 - 1.12) x 10^5 = 4.6 x 10^4 V

U = KE = 9.2 x 10^-8 x 4.6 x 10^4 = 0.004232 J

v = sqrt (2KE/m)

v = sqrt (2 x 0.004232/(3.4 x 10^-8)) = 499 m/s

Hence, v = 499 m/s
