Options:
  • A qEy
  • B \( q E y^{2} \)

The correct answer is: qEy
(A)
Velocity gained after moving a distance \( y \) is \( v^{2}=u^{2}+2 a y \)
Here \( \mathrm{u}=0 \) and \( \mathrm{a}=\frac{q E}{m} \)
\( v^{2}=2\left(\frac{q E}{m}\right) y \)
Kinetic energy, \( E=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2} \)
\( =\frac{1}{2} \times m \times\left(2 \times \frac{q E}{m} \times y\right) \) \( \mathrm{E}=\mathrm{qEy} \)
