Electrostatic Potential Energy

A bullet of mass 2 g is having a charge of 2 μ\muC. Through what potential difference must it be accelerated, starting from rest, to acquire a speed of 10 m/s?

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. qV=12mv2qV = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2
  2. V=mv22q=2×10−3×1002×2×10−6=5×104V = \dfrac{mv^2}{2q} = \dfrac{2\times10^{-3} \times 100}{2 \times 2\times10^{-6}} = 5\times10^4 V
  3. V=50V = 50 kV. So the answer is (b).
