Solve this : 12. Alpha particle is revolving around an infinitely long line charge of linear charge density λ at perpendicular distance r from it. The centripetal force on the particle is : 1 . λe 2 πε ∘ r 2 . λe πε ∘ r 3 . λe 4 πε ∘ r 4 . λe πε ∘ r 2 Share with your friends Share 17 Decoder_2 answered this Dear student, Electric field due to the infinitely long line charge is given by,E= λ2π εo r The centripetal force required by the alpha particle to revolve is given byF1 =mv2r the electrostatic force of attraction between the particle and wire F2 = 2eEF1 = F2⇒The centripetal force on the particle =2λe2π εo r =λeπ εo r Regards 12 View Full Answer
