Q.

A small sphere of mass m=0.5 kg carrying a positive charge q=110μC is connected with a light, flexible and inextensible string of length r=60 cm and whirled in a vertical circle. If a vertically upward electric field of strength E=105NC1 exists in the space, calculate minimum velocity of sphere required at highest point so that it may just complete the circle. (g=10 ms2)

Detailed Solution

Upward force qE>mg, So Tension in the string can’t be zero at the top most point, hence condition should be considered at lowest point 
At lowest point  Tmg+qE=mV02l  … (1)
T=0
A using work energy theorem 
qE2lmg2l=12mv212mv02   … (2)
Solving (1) and (2) we get  V2 6 m/s.
