    A bullet of mass m and charge q is fired towards a fixed solid uniformly charged sphere of radius R and total charge\[+q\]. If it strikes the surface of sphere with speed u. Find the minimum speed u so that it can penetrate through the sphere, (neglect all= resistance or friction acting on bullet except electrostatic force)

    A) \[\frac{q}{\sqrt{2\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}mR}}\]                 

    B) \[\frac{q}{\sqrt{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}mR}}\]

    C) \[\frac{3q}{\sqrt{2\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}mR}}\]                              

    D) \[\frac{\sqrt{3}q}{\sqrt{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}mR}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    For the bullet to penetrate through the sphere, it must be able to reach the centre of sphere. The potential at the centre of sphere is: \[\therefore \,\,P(r\ge 4)\,{{=}^{5}}{{C}_{4}}{{\left( \frac{1}{4} \right)}^{4}}.\left( \frac{3}{4} \right){{+}^{5}}{{C}_{5}}{{\left( \frac{1}{4} \right)}^{5}}\] For the minimum speed u of the bullet, its speed at the centre is zero. Applying cons. of mechanical energy, have                                            \[=5.\frac{1}{256}.\frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{45}=\frac{16}{4\times 256}\,=\frac{1}{64}\]
