1. Electric Charges and Fields

A charged particle $'q'$ is shot from a large distance with speed $v$ towards a fixed charged particle $Q$. It apporaches $Q$ upto a closet distance $r$ and then returns. If $q$ were given a speed $'2v$', the closest distance of approach would be

A
$r$
B
$2r$
C
$r/2$
D
$r/4$
Solution
$\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}=\frac{k Q q}{r} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} m(2 v)^{2}=\frac{k q Q}{r^{\prime}} \Rightarrow r^{\prime}=\frac{r}{4}$
