2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
hard

A small sphere of mass $m =\ 0.5\, kg$ carrying a positive charge $q = 110\  \mu C$ is connected with a light, flexible and inextensible string of length $r = 60 \ cm$ and whirled in a vertical circle. If a vertically upwards electric field of strength $E = 10^5 NC^{-1}$ exists in the space, The minimum velocity of  sphere required at highest point so that it may just complete the circle........$m/s$  $(g = 10\, ms^{-2})$

A

$8$

B

$7$

C

$6$

D

$9$

Solution

$\mathrm{Fg}=5 \mathrm{\,N}, \quad \mathrm{Fe}=11 \mathrm{\,N}$

The minimum possible velocity at lowest point can be $\sqrt{7.2} \mathrm{\,m} / \mathrm{s} .$ The corresponding velocity at the highest point will also be minimum

${\frac{1}{2} m v_{f}^{2}-\frac{1}{2} m v_{i}^{2}=-m g(2 r)+q E_{0}(2 r)} $

${v_{s}=6 \,m / s}$
