    A particle of mass m and charge q is at rest initially, in a uniform electric field E in x-direction and is released. If the particle moves through a distance of 5 m between time interval \[t=1\,s\] to \[t=2\,s,\]the magnitude of E will be

    A)  \[\frac{10\,m}{3\,q}\]                  

    B)  \[\frac{7\,m}{2\,q}\]

    C)  \[\frac{3\,m}{4\,q}\]                                    

    D)  \[\frac{4\,m}{3\,q}\]

    E)  \[\frac{8\,m}{7\,q}\]    

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    As force F = qE \[\Rightarrow \]               \[ma=qE\Rightarrow a=\frac{qE}{m}\] Similarly, u = 0 The distance covered in time t = 2 s \[{{s}_{1}}=ut+\frac{1}{2}a{{t}^{2}}=0+\frac{1}{2}\frac{qE}{m}\times {{2}^{2}}\]     \[=\frac{2qE}{m}\] Now, distance covered at in time t = 1 s \[{{s}_{2}}=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{qE}{m}\times {{1}^{2}}=\frac{qE}{2m}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{s}_{2}}-{{s}_{1}}=\frac{2qE}{m}-\frac{qE}{2m}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[s=\frac{qE}{m}\left( 2-\frac{1}{2} \right)\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[E=\frac{10\,m}{3q}\]
