                    A particle of mass m and charge q is placed at rest in a uniform electric field E and then released. The kinetic energy attained by the particle after moving a distance y is:                        

    A)                 \[q\,E\,{{y}^{2}}\]    

    B)                 \[q\,{{E}^{2}}\,y\]                           

    C)                 \[q\,E\,y\]  

    D)                 \[{{q}^{2}}E\,y\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                                               Key Idea: Kinetic energy obtained by the particle is equal to the work done in moving a distance y.                 Electric force on charged particle                 F =qE                 Kinetic energy attained by particle                 = work done                 = force x displacement                 \[=qE\times y\]                 Alternative:                 Force on charged particle in a uniform electric field is                 \[F=ma=Eq\]                 or            \[a=\frac{Eq}{m}\]                                          ?(i)                 From the equation of motion, we have                 \[{{v}^{2}}={{u}^{2}}+2ay\]                 \[=0+2\times \frac{Eq}{m}\times y\]                 \[=\frac{2Eqy}{m}\]                        Now kinetic energy of the particle                 \[K=\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}\]                 \[=\frac{m}{2}\times \frac{2\,E\,qy}{m}=qEy\]
