Apply conservation of energy to solve this problem -
KEi + Ui = KEf + Uf
Initially the particle starts at rest, so initial KE is zero.
Ui - Uf = KEf
=> kqq' * (1/r1 - 1/r2) = (1/2)*m*v^2
where, r1 is the initial distance between the center of the
sphere and the electron. r2 is the final position (right at the
radius of the sphere). q is the charge of the sphere and q' is the
charge of the electron. The entire right hand side should give you
a positive number. K is a constant.
v = sqrt((2qq'/m)*(1/r1 -1/r2))
Now put the values -
q = 1.0 x 10^-9 C
q' = 1.6 x 10^-19 C
m = mass of electron = 9.109 x 10^-31 kg
r1 = 2.0 cm = 0.02 m
r2 = 4.0 cm = 0.04 m
So, v = sqrt[{(2 x 1.0 x 10^-9 x 1.6 x 10^-19) / (9.109 x 10^-31)}*(1/0.02 - 1/0.04)]
= sqrt[{3.2 x 10^-28} / (9.109 x 10^-31)}*25]
= sqrt[0.3513 x 10^3 x 25] = 93.71 m/s
Therefore, the velocity of the electron when it reaches at the surface of the sphere = 93.71 m/s (Answer)
