A charge q of mass m enters a region of electric field E = -E₀ĵ with a velocity v₀î + v₀ĵ at origin. Find the x coordinate where the charge hits the x axis again. (Neglect effect of gravity)
A charge q of mass m enters a region of electric field E = -E₀ĵ with a velocity v₀î + v₀ĵ at origin. Find the x coordinate where the charge hits the x axis again. (Neglect effect of gravity)
In y axis u? = v? a? = -E? q / m
s? = 0, u? t + (1/2)a? t² = 0 ⇒ t = 2u? /a? = 2v? m/E? q
x coordinate at that time = v? * t = (2v? m/0) * v? = (2v? ²m)/E? q
