A large flat metal surface has a uniform charge density+σ. An electron of massmand chargeρleaves the surface at the pointAwith speeduand returns to it at pointB. Disregarding gravity the maximum value ofABis

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Electric field due to one surface of the large metal plate,



The projected electron's motion will be on a curved path like a projectile.

AB will be maximum whenθ=45°

RangeABmax=u2a

a=ρEm=ρ​σ2ε0m

=u2ρσ2ε0m=2ε0mu2ρσ
