Two infinite non-conducting sheets with uniform surface charge densities and are placed parallel to each other at a distance . A particle of mass and charge is released from rest from the positive sheet. What is the time taken to reach the negative sheet?

  1. A.
  2. B.
  3. C.
  4. D.
Show correct answer & step-by-step solution

Correct answer: A

Solution

  1. The electric field between the two sheets is .
  2. The force on the particle is , so acceleration .
  3. Using the kinematic equation , we solve for .
  4. Substituting , we get .
  5. Hence the answer is (A).
