Q.

A particle of mass m carrying charge q is projected with velocity v from point P toward an infinite line of charge from a distance a.Its speed reduces to zero momentarily at point Q, which is at a distance a/2 from the line of charge. If another particle with mass m and charge -q is projected with the same velocity v from P toward the line of charge, what will be its speed at Q?
