Analyzing +4 | -1
A body of mass M and charge q is connected to a spring of spring constant k. It is oscillating along x-direction about its equilibrium position, taken to be at x = 0, with an amplitude A. An electric field E is applied along the x-direction. Which of the following statements is correct?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
The total energy of the system is 12mω2A2+12q2E2k\frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 A^2+\frac{1}{2} \frac{q^2 E^2}{k}.
Option A is correct because the total energy includes the potential energy due to the spring and the additional potential energy due to the electric field's effect on the charge.
