Question

A particle of mass m and carrying charge -q​​​​​1 is moving around a charge:+q​​​​​​​​​​2 along a circular path of radius r.find period of revolution of charge

Open in App
Solution

find the force between the two charges using coulumb force formula.

see that force is attracting. also charge -q1 is revolving

thus it is the case of circular motion with that force acting as centripital force.

equate it to mw2r (centripital force on body of mass m and revolving with w angular speed)

find w.

I have done it here for you.
