    There is a spherical cavity of radius \[R/2\] in uniformly charged spherical region having charge density \[+\rho \] and radius R. If a small charge particle having charge \[{{q}_{0}}\] is released at point C, centre of the cavity then it will collide with the wall of the cavity with kinetic energy-                        

    A)  \[\frac{\rho {{R}^{2}}{{q}_{0}}}{3{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\]                 

    B)  \[\frac{\rho {{R}^{2}}{{q}_{0}}}{6{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{\rho {{R}^{2}}{{q}_{0}}}{4{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\]                 

    D)  \[\frac{\rho {{R}^{2}}{{q}_{0}}}{12{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The electric field inside the cavity is constant and is equal to the field at point C and it is same as there were no cavity. \[\Rightarrow E=\frac{\rho R/2}{3\,{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}=\frac{\rho R}{6\,{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\]radially outward .Kinetic energy , change = work done \[={{q}_{0}}\Delta V={{q}_{0}}ER/2\] \[\Rightarrow {{V}_{C}}-{{V}_{A}}=E\frac{R}{2}=\frac{\rho {{R}^{2}}}{12{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\] \[\therefore K.E.={{q}_{0}}({{V}_{C}}-{{V}_{A}})=\frac{\rho {{R}^{2}}{{q}_{0}}}{12{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\]
