A helium ion of mass 4m and charge 2e is accelerated from rest through a potential difference V in vacuum. Its final speed will be
Answers
The helium ion has:
a potential difference in vacuum = V,
Charge = 2e
and mass = 4m,
speed = v,
mass = 4m
From electrostatics, the work done is the product of charge and its potential difference.
Therefore, Work done = charge × potential difference = 2e × V = 2eV
This work done is in form of kinetic energy, therefore:
Kinetic energy = 1/2 × mass × speed²
⇒ Work done = Kinetic energy
The final speed of the ion will be √(eV/m).
Given,
A helium ion of mass 4m and charge 2e is accelerated from rest through a potential difference V in vacuum.
To Find,
The final speed of the ion.
Solution,
Since we know that the work done is the product of charge and its potential difference.
So,
Work done = charge × potential difference = 2e × V = 2eV
This work done is in form of kinetic energy, therefore
Work done = Kinetic energy
Substituting the values
2ev = 1/2 mv²
2ev = 1/2 4mv²
v² = eV/m
v = √(eV/m)
Hence, the final speed of the ion will be √(eV/m).
