The potential at location A is 382 V. A positively charged particle is released there from rest and arrives at location B with a speed vB. The potential at location C is 785 V, and when released from rest from this spot, the particle arrives at B with twice the speed it previously had, or 2vB. Find the potential at B.

Respuesta :

Answer: 247.67 V

Explanation:

Given

Potential At A [tex]V_a=382\ V[/tex]

Potential at [tex]V_c=785\ V[/tex]

when particle starts from A it reaches with velocity [tex]v_b[/tex] at Point while when it starts from C it reaches at point B with velocity [tex]2v_b[/tex]

Suppose m is the mass of Particle

Change in Kinetic Energy of particle moving under the Potential From A to B

[tex]q\cdot \left ( V_a-V_b\right )=0.5m\cdot (v_b)^2----1[/tex]

Change in Kinetic Energy of particle moving under the Potential From C to B

[tex]q\cdot \left ( V_c-V_b\right )=0.5m\cdot (2v_b)^2-----2[/tex]

Divide 1 and 2 we get

[tex]\frac{V_a-V_b}{V_c-V_b}=\frac{v_b^2}{4v_b^2}[/tex]

on solving we get

[tex]V_b=\frac{4}{3}\cdot V_a-\frac{1}{3}\cdot V_c[/tex]

[tex]V_b=\frac{743}{3}=247.67\ V[/tex]
