What must projection speed be for p to escape to infinity

Reference no: EM131384022

An uncharged conducting sphere of radius a is fixed in space and a particle P, of mass m and charge q, can move freely outside the sphere. Initially P is a distance b ( > a) from the centre O of the sphere when it is projected directly away from O. What must the projection speed be for P to escape to infinity?

[Ignore electrodynamic effects. Use the method of images to solve the electrostatic problem.]
