The correct Answer is:
To find the ratio of kinetic energy of a charged particle at two points \( A \) and \( B \) when it enters and exits an electric field, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between velocity and kinetic energy The kinetic energy \( K \) of a charged particle is given by the formula: \[ K = \frac{1}{2} m v^2 \] where \( m \) is the mass of the particle and \( v \) is its velocity. ### Step 2: Identify the components of velocity At point \( A \), the velocity \( V_A \) makes an angle \( \alpha \) with the electric field. The components of the velocity can be expressed as: - Parallel component to the electric field: \( V_{A\parallel} = V_A \cos(\alpha) \) - Perpendicular component to the electric field: \( V_{A\perp} = V_A \sin(\alpha) \) At point \( B \), the velocity \( V_B \) makes an angle \( \beta \) with the electric field. The components of the velocity can be expressed as: - Parallel component to the electric field: \( V_{B\parallel} = V_B \cos(\beta) \) - Perpendicular component to the electric field: \( V_{B\perp} = V_B \sin(\beta) \) ### Step 3: Apply the work-energy theorem The work done by the electric field on the charged particle results in a change in kinetic energy. The change in kinetic energy can be related to the parallel component of the velocity, as only this component is affected by the electric field. ### Step 4: Write the ratio of kinetic energies The ratio of kinetic energies at points \( A \) and \( B \) can be expressed as: \[ \frac{K_B}{K_A} = \frac{\frac{1}{2} m V_B^2}{\frac{1}{2} m V_A^2} = \frac{V_B^2}{V_A^2} \] ### Step 5: Relate the velocities using the angles Using the relationship between the components of the velocities and the angles: \[ \frac{V_B}{V_A} = \frac{\sin(\beta)}{\sin(\alpha)} \] Thus, \[ \frac{K_B}{K_A} = \left(\frac{\sin(\beta)}{\sin(\alpha)}\right)^2 \] ### Step 6: Substitute the given angles Given \( \alpha = 60^\circ \) and \( \beta = 30^\circ \): - \( \sin(60^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \) - \( \sin(30^\circ) = \frac{1}{2} \) Now substituting these values: \[ \frac{K_B}{K_A} = \left(\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}\right)^2 = \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{3} \] ### Final Result Thus, the ratio of kinetic energy at points \( B \) and \( A \) is: \[ \frac{K_B}{K_A} = \frac{1}{3} \] ---
