  • Question 1/21
    1 / -0

    Three positive charges of equal value q are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle. The resulting lines of force should be sketched as in

    Solutions

    Carefully observe each property of electric field lines in the above options.

  • Question 2/21
    1 / -0

    What will be the value of a charge q, such that when it is placed at the centre of two equal and like charges Q, the three charges are in equilibrium.

    Solutions

    If we see all the forces acting upon the charge Q due to other charge Q at distance r and other charge q at distance r/2, we get
    kQQ/r2 + kQ(q)/(r/2)2
    This results 
    Q2 / r2  = -4Qq / r2
    Thus we get q = -Q/4

  • Question 3/21
    1 / -0

    A charged particle having some mass is resting in equilibrium at a height H above the centre of a uniformly charged non-conducting horizontal ring of radius R. The force of gravity acts downwards. The equilibrium of the particle will be stable -

    Solutions

    electric field due to non-conducting ring along its axis is given by, 
    E=kqz/(Z2+r2)3/2
    where z is the separation between point of observation to the centre of the ring, q is the charge on the ring and r is the radius of the ring.
    We know, electric field will be maximum only when z = R/√2, meaning at this point the value of force must be maximum. and if we increase the value of z from R/√2 it will decrease and if we decrease the value of z from R/√2 , it will increase.
    condition of stable equilibrium,
    A small vertical displacement upwards should cause the resultant force on the particle to be downwards, to return it or a small vertical displacement downward should cause the resultant force on the particle to be downward.
    hence, at z > R/√2 or, h > R/√2 system will be in stable equilibrium.
     

  • Question 4/21
    1 / -0

    In space of horizontal EF(E = (mg)/q) exist as shown in figure and a mass m attached at the end of a light rod. If mass m is released from the position shown in figure find the angular velocity of the rod when it passes through the bottom most position.

                           

    Solutions

    According to the work energy theorem we have
    We​+Wg​=(1​/2)mv2
    We have work done by electrostatic force as
    We​=qElsinθ
    and work done by the gravitational force as
    Wg​=mg(l−lcosθ)
    Thus we get
    qElsinθ+mg(l−lcosθ)=(1/2)​mv2
    Thus we get
    mgsinθ+mgl−mglcosθ=(1/2)​mv2
    as θ=45o, we get
    mgl=(1/2)​mv2
    also as v=ωl
    we get
    ω=√2g/​​l

  • Question 5/21
    1 / -0

    Find the force experienced by the semicircular rod charged with a charge q, placed as shown in figure. Radius of the wire is R and the infinitely long line of charge with linear density l is passing through its centre and perpendicular to the plane of wire.

    Solutions

    Fnet​=∫dqEcosθ

    cosθdθ=(λq/2π2ε0​R) ​[sinθ]−π/2π/2
    = (λq/2π2ε0​R) ​[1−(−1)]= λq​/π2ε0​​R

    Two small balls, each having equal positive charge Q are suspended by two insulating strings of equal length L from a hook fixed to a stand. If the whole set-up is transferred to a satellite in orbit around the earth,the tension in each string is equal to

    Solutions

    A satellite is in a state of free fall & hence weightlessness. Thus only electric force is responsible for the Tension

    1 / -0

    An electric dipole is placed at an angle of 30o to a non-uniform electric field. The dipole will experience

    The dipole will have some distance along the electric field, so, option (1) is correct.

  • Question 12/21
    1 / -0

    Two point charges +8q and –2q are located at x = 0 and x = L respectively. The location of a point onthe x axis at which the net electric field due to these two point charges is zero is:

    Solutions

    Suppose that at point B, where net electric field is zero due to charges 8q and 2q

    According to conditional EBO+ EBA = 0

    So a = L

    Thus, at distance 2L from origin, net electric field will be zero

  • Question 14/21
    1 / -0

    Four charges are placed each at a distance a from origin. The dipole moment of configuration is

    Solutions

    This question can be solved easily , if you have some knowledge about resolution of vectors.
    all four charges are placed , each at a distance 'a ' from the origin.
    it means distance between two charges = √{a² + a² } = √2a
    We also know, dipole moment is the system of two equal magnitude but opposite nature charges . so, we have to divide the charges as shown in the figure for making dipoles .
    Hence, there are three dipoles formed.
    Let P = q(√2a)
    then, P₁ = P , P₂ = P and P₃ = 2P {as shown in figure.}
    now resolve the vectors P₁ ,P₂ and P₃ .
    as shown in figure,
    vertical components of P₁ and P₂ is cancelled .
    and horizontal components of P₁ and P₂ is cancelled by horizontal component of P₃ .
    and rest part of dipole = vertical component of P₃ = 2Psin45° j ['j' shows direction of net dipole moment]
    hence, net dipole moment = 2q(√2a) × 1/√2 j
    = 2qa j

    Solutions

    we know that 1 colomb = 6.242 x 1018 electron
    given 109 electron take 1 sec
    ⇒ 10electron → 1 sec

    Solutions

    Electric lines of force never intersect each other because at the point of intersection, two tangents can be drawn to the two lines of force. This means two direction of electric field at the point of intersection, which is not possible.
