The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the velocity of each charge when the distance between them changes from \(d\) to \(2d\), we can use the principle of conservation of energy. Here's a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Initial and Final Conditions - Initially, we have two charges \(Q\) separated by a distance \(d\). - When released, they will experience a repulsive force due to their like charges. - We need to find the velocity of each charge when the distance between them increases to \(2d\). ### Step 2: Calculate the Initial Potential Energy The initial potential energy \(U_1\) when the charges are at distance \(d\) is given by the formula: \[ U_1 = \frac{kQ^2}{d} \] where \(k\) is Coulomb's constant. ### Step 3: Calculate the Final Potential Energy The final potential energy \(U_2\) when the charges are at distance \(2d\) is: \[ U_2 = \frac{kQ^2}{2d} \] ### Step 4: Apply Conservation of Energy According to the conservation of energy, the loss in potential energy equals the gain in kinetic energy. Thus: \[ \Delta U = U_1 - U_2 = K.E. \] The change in potential energy is: \[ \Delta U = \frac{kQ^2}{d} - \frac{kQ^2}{2d} = \frac{kQ^2}{d} \left(1 - \frac{1}{2}\right) = \frac{kQ^2}{2d} \] ### Step 5: Express the Kinetic Energy The kinetic energy gained by each charge when they move apart is given by: \[ K.E. = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mv^2 \] where \(v\) is the velocity of each charge. ### Step 6: Set Up the Equation Equating the change in potential energy to the total kinetic energy: \[ \frac{kQ^2}{2d} = mv^2 \] ### Step 7: Solve for Velocity Rearranging the equation to solve for \(v\): \[ v^2 = \frac{kQ^2}{2md} \] Taking the square root gives: \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{kQ^2}{2md}} \] ### Step 8: Substitute for \(k\) Coulomb's constant \(k\) can be expressed in terms of \(\epsilon_0\) (the permittivity of free space): \[ k = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} \] Substituting this into the equation for \(v\): \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{(1/4\pi\epsilon_0)Q^2}{2md}} = \sqrt{\frac{Q^2}{8\pi\epsilon_0 md}} \] ### Final Result Thus, the velocity of each charge when the distance between them is \(2d\) is: \[ v = \frac{Q}{\sqrt{8\pi\epsilon_0 md}} \]
