JEE Main & Advanced Physics Electrostatics & Capacitance Question Bank Electric Field and Potential

  • question_answer
    The ratio of momenta of an electron and an a-particle which are accelerated from rest by a potential difference of 100 volt is                                                                       [UPSEAT 1999]

    A)            1    

    B)            \[\sqrt{\frac{2{{m}_{e}}}{{{m}_{\alpha }}}}\]

    C)            \[\sqrt{\frac{{{m}_{e}}}{{{m}_{\alpha }}}}\]               

    D)            \[\sqrt{\frac{{{m}_{e}}}{2{{m}_{\alpha }}}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                 Momentum \[p=\sqrt{2mK}\,;\] where K = kinetic energy = Q.V Þ\[p=\sqrt{2mQV}\]Þ\[p\propto \sqrt{mQ}\,\Rightarrow \,\frac{{{p}_{e}}}{{{p}_{\alpha }}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{m}_{e}}{{Q}_{e}}}{{{m}_{\alpha }}{{Q}_{\alpha }}}}\]\[=\sqrt{\frac{{{m}_{e}}}{2{{m}_{\alpha }}}}\]
