An infinitely long positively charged straight wire has a linear charge density lambda C/cm. An electron is revolving around the wire as it's centre with a constant velocity in a circular plane perpendicular to the wire . Deduce the expression for its kinetic energy . Plot a graph of the kinetic energy as a function of lambda .

ELECTRIC FIELD due to the infinitely long positively charged wire,
E=λ/2π ε0 r
also the centripetal force required by the electron to revolve is given by
F1=(mv^2)/r ---(1)
the electrostatic force of attraction between the electron and wire
F2=eE
F2=eλ/2π ε0 r ---(2)
now,
equate 1 and 2 and try to get an expression for kinetic energy in terms of (mv^2)/2
the plot should be a straight line as both the quantities are directly proportional to each other
