To charged particles of mass 4m and m and having charges + q and + 3q are placed in uniform electric field they are allowed to move for 2 seconds find the ratio of their kinetic energies?... please tell the answer soon
Answers
Answer:
Let a particle of mass
m
have charge
q
and be accelerated from rest to speed
v
in a uniform electric field.
The electrostatic force exerted on the charged particle can be given as:
F
=
q
E
.
Therefore, acceleration of the particle is given by:
a
=
F
m
=
q
E
m
.
The final velocity of the charged particle in time
t
is given by:
v
=
a
t
=
q
E
m
t
.
Then kinetic energy of the particle in time
t
is given by:
K

.
Therefore, if the electric field and time are kept constant, then:
K
∝
q

m
.
If we consider two charged particles of masses
m
1
and
m
2
and respective charges
q
1
and
q
2
, being accelerated in the same electric field and for the same interval of time, the ratio of their kinetic energies will be given by:
K

K
