Two parallel plates separated by ' $\mathrm{d}$ ' $\mathrm{mm}$ are kept at potential difference of ' $V$ ' volt. A particle of mass ' $m$ ' and charge ' $q$ ' enters in it with some velocity. The acceleration of the particle will be
  1. $\frac{\mathrm{q}}{\mathrm{dm} \mathrm{V}}$
  2. $\frac{\mathrm{qm}}{\mathrm{Vd}}$
  3. $\frac{\mathrm{qd}}{\mathrm{Vm}}$
  4. $\frac{\mathrm{qV}}{\mathrm{dm}}$

Solution

Electric field between the plates is $\mathrm{E}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{d}}\right)$ Force on the change can be written as $\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{F}=\frac{\mathrm{qV}}{\mathrm{d}} \\ & \therefore \text { Acceleration }=\frac{\mathrm{F}}{\mathrm{m}}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{qV}}{\mathrm{md}}\right) \end{aligned}$
