AIIMS 2019 Physics Centripetal Acceleration MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 11
An electron is moving in a circle of radius 2 m with speed 4 m/s. Find the acceleration of the electron.
A
8 m/s²
B
4 m/s²
C
16 m/s²
D
10 m/s²
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The acceleration of an electron moving in a circular path can be calculated using the formula for centripetal acceleration, , where is the speed and is the radius. Substituting the given values, , confirming option (A) as correct. Options (B), (C), and (D) are incorrect as they do not match the calculated centripetal acceleration based on the provided speed and radius.
