Detailed Solution

Coulomb force provides the necessary centripetal force for the circular motion of the particle. Thus

λe2πε0r=mv2r

 v=λe2πε0mv is independent of r

Frequency of revolution =v2πr depends on r

Kinetic energy =12mv2  independent of r

Linear momentum =mv independent of r

Angular momentum about the wire =mvr depends on r
