Potential energy
Question

A fixed uniformly charged ring of radius 3 m has a positive linear charge density -50 μC/m. A point charge 5 μC is moving towards the ring along its axis such that its kinetic energy at A is 5 J. Its kinetic energy at the centre of ring will be nearly :

Moderate
Solution

From COME, KA+UA=Ko+Uo

Ko=KA+UA-Uo=KA+q(2πR)R2+d2-(2πR)R                                       =1.3 J
