MCQ Questions for Class 12 Medical Physics Electric Charges And Fields Quiz 12

A charge

$\displaystyle \left ( 5\sqrt{2}+2\sqrt{5} \right )$ coulomb is placed on the axis of an infinite disc at a distance a from the centre of disc. The flux of this charge on the part of the disc having inner and outer radius of a and 2a will be :

0%
$\displaystyle \frac{3}{2\varepsilon _{0}}$
0%
$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2\varepsilon _{0}}$
0%
$\displaystyle \frac{2\left [ \sqrt{5}+\sqrt{2} \right ]}{\varepsilon _{0}}$
0%
$\displaystyle \frac{2\sqrt{5}+5\sqrt{2}}{2\varepsilon _{0}}$

Explanation

As solid angle,

$w= 2\pi (1-cos\theta)$ where

$\theta$ is half planer angle.

From trignometry,

$tan \theta_1 = \dfrac{a}{a} = 1 \implies \theta_1 = 45^o$

Also

$tan\theta_2 = \dfrac{2a}{a} = 2 \implies cos\theta_2 = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{5}}$

Now solid angle subtended by shaded region,

$w =w_2- w_1$

$w= 2\pi (1-cos\theta_2) - 2\pi (1-cos\theta_1)$

$= 2\pi (1-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{5}}) - 2\pi (1-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}})$

$w= 2\pi \bigg[\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}} - \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\bigg]$

As flux through

$4\pi$ steradian is equal to

$\dfrac{q}{\epsilon_o}$

Thus flux through

$w$ steradian,

$\phi = \dfrac{q}{\epsilon_o} \times \dfrac{w}{4\pi}$

$\phi = \dfrac{2\sqrt{5} + 5\sqrt{2}}{\epsilon_o} \times \dfrac{2\pi [\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}]}{4\pi}$

$\phi = \dfrac{\sqrt{10} +5 -2 - \sqrt{10}}{2\epsilon_o}$

$\implies \phi = \dfrac{3}{2\epsilon_o}$

Three point charges +q, -2q and +q are placed at point (x =0,y=a, z=0),(x = 0, y=0, z=0) and (x=a, y =0, z =0) respectively. The magnitude and direction of the electric dipole moment vector of this charge assembly are :

0%
$\displaystyle \sqrt { 2qa }$ along + y direction
0%
$\displaystyle \sqrt { 2qa }$ along the line joining points

(x=0,y=0,z=0) and (x=a,y=a,z=0)
0%
$\displaystyle qa$ along the line joining points

(x=0,y=0,z=0) and (x=a,y=a,z=0)
0%
$\displaystyle \sqrt { 2qa }$ along + x direction

Explanation

The given charge assembly can be represented using the three co-ordinate axes x, y and z as shown in figure.
The charge -2q is placed at the origin O. One + q charge is place at (a,0, 0) and the other +q charge is placed at(0, a, 0). Thus the system has two dipoles along x-axis and y-axis respectively.
As the electric dipole moment is directed from the negative to the positive charge hence the resultant dipole moment will be along OA where co-ordinates of point A are (a, a, 0). The magnitude of each dipole moment,

$p = qa$

So, the magnitude of resultant dipole moment is

$P_R = \sqrt{p^2 + P^2} = \sqrt{(qa)^2+(qa)^2} = \sqrt{2}qa$

A charged particle 'q' lies at 'P' and the line PC is perpendicular to the surface of ABC (part of disc). Find the flux passing through the surface ABC.

0%
$\displaystyle \frac { q }{ 4{ \varepsilon }_{ 0 } }$
0%
$\displaystyle \frac { q }{ 16{ \varepsilon }_{ 0 } }$
0%
$\displaystyle \frac { q }{ 32{ \varepsilon }_{ 0 } }$
0%
$\displaystyle \frac { q }{ 48{ \varepsilon }_{ 0 } }$

Explanation

$E=\cfrac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 a^2}$

Area of whole disk

$=\pi r^2=\pi(\sqrt{3}a)^2=3\pi a^2$

Area of

$ABC=\pi r^2\left( \cfrac { 30 }{ 360 } \right) =\cfrac { 3\pi { a }^{ 2 } }{ 12 }$

$=\cfrac { 1 }{ 12 }$ (area of whole disk)

The electric flux through the whole disk,

${ \phi }_{ T }=EA=\cfrac {q} {4\pi \epsilon_0 a^2}\times 3\pi a^2=\cfrac {3q}{4\epsilon_0}$

But electric flux,

$\phi=\cfrac {1}{12}\phi_T=\cfrac{1}{12}\times\cfrac{3q}{4\epsilon_0}$

$=\cfrac {q}{16\epsilon_0}$

The spatial distribution of the electric field due to two charges (A, B) is shown in figure. Which one of the following statements is correct ?

0%
A is +ve and B is -ve; $\displaystyle \left| A \right| >\left| B \right|$
0%
A is -ve and B is +ve; $\displaystyle \left| A \right| =\left| B \right|$
0%
Both are +ve but $\displaystyle A>B$
0%
Both are -ve but $\displaystyle A>B$

Explanation

We know that the electric field lines are coming out for positive charge and coming in for negative charge. So A is +ve and B is -ve. As A has more field lines so

$|A|>|B|$

An electrostatic field line is continuous curve. That is, a field line cannot have sudden breaks. Why not?

Electric field is imaginary at some points

There exists a non-uniform electric field along x-axis as shown in the figure below. The field increases at a uniform rate along +ve x-axis. A dipole is placed inside the field as shown.Which one of the following is correct for the dipole?

0%
Dipole moves along positive x-axis and undergoes a clockwise rotation
0%
Dipole moves along negative x-axis and undergoes a clockwise rotation
0%
Dipole moves along positive x-axis and undergoes a anticlockwise rotation
0%
Dipole moves along negative x-axis and undergoes a anticlockwise rotation

Explanation

The dipole is placed in a non-uniform field, therefore a force as well as a couple acts on it. The force on the negative charge is more

$(F \propto E)$ and is directed along negative x-axis. Thus the dipole moves along negative x-axis and rotates in an anticlockwise direction.

The diagram shows the cross-section of a sheet that is infinitely long in the

$x$ and

$z$ directions. The sheet has a height

$2D$ in the

$y$ -direction. The charge carried by the sheet is NOT uniform; the charge density varies according to the equation

$=By^2$ .
Which of the following expressions gives the electric field strength at point

$P$ , a point that lies outside the sheet and is located at

$y=d$ ?

0%
$\cfrac{BD^4}{4{\epsilon}_0}$
0%
$\cfrac{Bd^3}{3{\epsilon}_0}$
0%
$\cfrac{BD^3}{3{\epsilon}_0}$
0%
$\cfrac{Bd^4}{{\epsilon}_0}$
0%
The electric field is undefined because the sheet carries an infinite amount of charge.

0%
The outside wire prevents any magnetic field from the inside wire from leaking out of the wire.
0%
The outside wire prevents electric fields from interfering with the signal in the inside wire.

None of these

Explanation

Net dipole moment

$=\underset{i}{\Sigma} q_{i}r_{i}$

$=(a\times 3q)\widehat{j}+(-2qa)\widehat{i}+[-2(-a)\widehat{i}]+q(-a)\widehat{j}$

$\implies 2qa\widehat{j}$

In a region, the intensity of an electric field is given by

$E = 2i + 3j + k$ in

$NC^{-1}$ . The electric flux through a surface

$S = 10i \ m^{2}$ in the region is:

0%
$5\ Nm^{2} C^{-1}$
0%
$10\ Nm^{2} C^{-1}$
0%
$15\ Nm^{2} C^{-1}$
0%
$20\ Nm^{2} C^{-1}$

Explanation

Given:

$E = (2i + 3j + k) NC^{-1}$ and

$S = 10i \ m^{2}$
We know that:

$\phi = E\cdot S$

$\phi = (2i + 3j + k) \cdot (10i)$

$\phi = 20\ Nm^{2} C^{-1}$

The figure shows electric field lines penetrating two surfaces. Then

0%
$|E_a| > |E_a|$
0%
$|E_a| = |E_a|$
0%
$|E_a| < |E_a|$
0%
None of these

Explanation

From figure we can see that number of electric field passing through per unit area is more for plate A than plate B.

Hence, magnitude of field at A is greater than B.

$|E_A|>|E_B|$

Mathematically, electric flux can

$\phi$ be represented as:

$\vec E =$ electric field

$\hat n=$ surface normal vector

$A=$ surface area

0%
$\vec \phi = E\hat nA$
0%
$\vec \phi = \vec E.\hat nA$
0%
$\phi =\vec E.\hat nA$
0%
$\vec \phi = E nA$

Explanation

$\phi=\vec{E}.\vec{A}$

Direction of area vector is taken along the normal to the surface.

Hence,

$\phi=\vec{E}.\hat{n}A$ where

$\hat{n}$ is direction normal to surface.

Answer-(C)

Calculate the flux through the base of the cone of radius

0%
$2\pi r^2 E$
0%
$4\pi r^2 E$
0%
$0.5\pi r^2 E$
0%
$\pi r^2 E$

Explanation

We know that electric flux is given bt

$\phi=\oint\vec{E}.\vec{dS}$

where

$\vec{dS}$ is area vector directed along normal to area element.

For base of cone we can see that field is perpendicular to base surface and hence area vector is along field.

Hence,

$\phi=\oint EdS=E\oint dS$

$\implies \phi=E(\pi r^2)$

$\implies \phi=\pi r^2E$

0%
$E_x = E_y$
0%
$E_x > E_y$

Hence

$E_x>E_y$

Answer-(C)

Two charges of

$-2Q$ and

$Q$ are located at points

$(a,0)$ and

$(4a,0)$ respectively. What is the electric flux through a sphere of radius

0%
$\dfrac{-Q}{ \epsilon_0}$
0%
$\dfrac{-2Q}{ \epsilon_0}$
0%
$\dfrac{3Q}{ \epsilon_0}$

Explanation

We know that flux

$=\phi=\dfrac{q}{\epsilon_o}$ where

$q$ is charge inside the closed surface area and flux due to charge outside is zero.

Here, charge inside

$=q=-2Q$

Hence, flux

$=\phi=\dfrac{-2Q}{\epsilon_o}$

0%
$1.45kC$

Explanation

Charge,

$q$ =surface charge density

$(\sigma) \times$ area

$(A)$

$\implies q=\sigma\times 4\pi r^2$

$\implies q=\sigma\times 4\pi \left(\dfrac{d}{2}\right)^2$ where

$d=diameter$

$\implies q=80\times 10^{-6}\times 4\pi\times \left(\dfrac{2.4}{2}\right)^2$

$\implies q=1.45\times 10^{-3}C=1.45mC$

Answer-(B)

0%
$\dfrac{q}{6\epsilon_0a^2}$
0%
$\dfrac{q}{6\pi \epsilon_0a^2}$
0%
$\dfrac{q}{\epsilon_0}$

Explanation

Flux through the cube

$=\phi=\dfrac{q}{\epsilon_o}$

Since, charge is placed symmetrically and is equivalent to all 6 faces , hence flux through all 6 faces will be equal and the sum of flux through all six face equals the total flux.

Hence, flux through each face

$=\dfrac{q}{6\epsilon_o}$

$\dfrac{Q}{\epsilon_0}$

Explanation

Flux going out of a closed surface is given by charge inside closed surface divided by permittivity of free space.

$\phi=\dfrac{Q}{\epsilon_o}$

Answer-(D)

A rod of length l having charge q uniformly distributed moves towards right with constant speed v. At

$t=0$ , it enters in an imaginary cube of edge

$I/2$ , sketch variation of electric flux passing through the cube with respect to time.

Explanation

$t=0$ to

$t=\displaystyle\frac{I}{2v}$
At any time t, length of rod inside cube

$=vt$
Charge inside cube

$=\displaystyle\frac{q}{I}vt$

$\therefore \phi =\displaystyle\frac{q_{In}}{\varepsilon_0}=\frac{qv}{\varepsilon_0I}t, \phi \propto t$
Graph will be straight line of slope

$qv/\varepsilon_0I$

$t=0, \phi =0$

$t=\displaystyle\frac{I}{2v}, \phi =\frac{q}{2\varepsilon_0}$

$t=I/2v$ to

$t=I/v$ , half of rod inside cube,

$\phi =\displaystyle\frac{q}{2\varepsilon_0}$

$t=\displaystyle\frac{I}{v}$ to

$t=\displaystyle\frac{3I}{2v}$
Charge inside the cube,

$q_{In}=q-\frac{q}{I}\left(vt -\frac{I}{2}\right)$

$=\displaystyle\frac{3q}{2}-\frac{qv}{I}$ t

$\phi =\frac{\displaystyle \left(\frac{3q}{2}-\frac{qv}{I}t\right)}{\varepsilon_0}$

$=\displaystyle\frac{3q}{2\varepsilon_0}-\frac{qv}{\varepsilon_0I}t$
The graph will be straight line of negative slope and positive intercept.

$t=\displaystyle\frac{I}{v}$ ,

$\phi=\displaystyle\frac{q}{2\varepsilon_0}$

$t=\displaystyle\frac{3I}{2v}$ ,

$\phi =0$ .

The total solid angle subtended by the sphere is

$0.25\pi$
0%
$0.5\pi$
0%

0%
$2\pi$
0%
$1\pi$

Explanation

Solid angle is given by area subtended divided by

$r^2$ .

$\Omega=\dfrac{\Delta S}{r^2}$

Now, area subtended by a sphere is the whole surface area of sphere=

$4\pi r^2$

$\implies \Omega=\dfrac{4\pi r^2}{r^2}$

$\implies \Omega=4\pi$

Answer-(E)

Which of the following curves shown cannot possibly represent electrostatic field lines?

Explanation

Electrostatic field lines start or end only at

${90}^{o}$ to the surface of the conductor. So, curve (b) cannot represent electrostatic field lines are closer.

In a certain region of space,electric field is along the z-direction throughout. The magnitude of electric field is however not constant, but increases uniformly along the positive z-direction at the rate of

${ 10 }^{ 5 }N\quad { C }^{ -1 }{ m }^{ -1 }$ . The force experienced by the system having a total dipole moment equal to

${ 10 }^{ -7 }C$

$m$ in the negative z-direction is

0%
$-{ 10 }^{ -2 }N$
0%
${ 10 }^{ -2 }N$
0%
${ 10 }^{ -4 }N$
0%
$-{ 10 }^{ -4 }N$

Explanation

Consider an electric dipole dipole with

$-q$ charge at

$A$ and

$+q$ charge at

$B$ , placed along z-axis, that its dipole moment is in negative

$z$ direction

i.e,

${ p }_{ z }=-{ 10 }^{ -7 }Cm$

The electric field is along positive direction of z-axis, such that

$\cfrac { dE }{ dz } ={ 10 }^{ 5 }N{ C }^{ -1 }{ m }^{ -1 }\quad$

From

$F=qdE=\left( q\times dz \right) \times \cfrac { dE }{ dz } =p\cfrac { dE }{ dz }$

$\therefore F=-{ 10 }^{ -7 }\times { 10 }^{ 5 }=-{ 10 }^{ -2 }N\quad$

$2.0\times { 10 }^{ -3 }m\quad$ .It is placed near a long line charge of linear charge density

$4.0\times { 10 }^{ -4 }C\quad { m }^{ -1 }$ as shown in the figure, such that the negative charge is at a distance of

$2.0cm$ from the line charge. The force acting on the dipole will be

0%
$7.2N$ towards the line charge
0%
$6.6N$ away from the line charge
0%
$0.6N$ away from the line charge
0%
$0.6N$ towards the line charge

Explanation

The electric field at a distance

$r$ from the line charge of linear density

$\lambda$ is given by

$E=\cfrac { \lambda }{ 2\pi { \varepsilon }_{ 0 }r }$
Hence, the field at the negative charge

${ E }_{ 1 }=\cfrac { \left( 4.0\times { 10 }^{ -4 } \right) \left( 2\times 9\times { 10 }^{ 9 } \right) }{ 0.02 } =3.6\times { 10 }^{ 8 }N{ C }^{ -1 }\quad$
The force on the negative charge

${ F }_{ 1 }=\left( 3.6\times { 10 }^{ 8 } \right) \left( 2.0\times { 10 }^{ -8 } \right) =7.2N$ towards the line charge
Similary, the field at the positive charge
i.e., at

$r=0.022m$ is

$\quad { E }_{ 2 }=3.3\times { 10 }^{ 8 }N{ C }^{ -1 }$
The force on the positive charge,

${ F }_{ 2 }=\left( 3.3\times { 10 }^{ 8 } \right) \left( 2.0\times { 10 }^{ -8 } \right) =6.6N\quad$ away from the line charge
hence, the net force on the dipole

$=7.2N-6.6N=0.6N$ towards the line charge.

Explanation

$\textbf{Step 1: Electric field due to infinitely long charged wire}$

Linear charge density of wire,

$\lambda= 10^{-7}Cm^{-1}$

Electric field at a distance

$r$ from infinitely long charged wire is given by,

$E = \dfrac{\lambda }{2\pi\epsilon_o r}$

$......(1)$

$\textbf{Step 2: Substituting the values in equation (1)}$

$\ E =\dfrac{10^{-7}}{2\pi \times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 0.02} =9\times 10^4 \ NC^{-1}$

Hence, Option (B) is correct.

$(A)$ due to electric field of

$(B)$ then:

0%
$\phi_{1} = \phi_{2}$
0%
$\phi_{1} > \phi_{2}$
0%
$\phi_{1} < \phi_{2}$
0%
It depend and on $x$ and $R$

Explanation

From the defination of flux,

$\phi=E\cdot dA$

or,

$\phi= E(A)$

where,

$A$ is the area of surface.

Now, according to question,

$\phi _1:$ Flux through

$B$ due to

$A$

So,

$E$ due to

$A=\cfrac{\sigma}{2\varepsilon_o}$ (Non- conducting charge sheet)

$\Rightarrow \phi_1=E$ (Area of

$B$ )

$\Rightarrow \phi_1=\cfrac{\sigma}{\varepsilon_o}(\pi 4R^2)=\cfrac{2\sigma \pi R^2}{\varepsilon_o}$

Similarly for

$\phi_2$ : Flux through

$A$ due to

$B$ ,

$E$ due to

$B=\cfrac{\sigma}{2\varepsilon_o}$

$\Rightarrow \phi_2=E$ (Area of

$A$ )

$\Rightarrow \phi_2=\cfrac{\sigma}{2\varepsilon_o}\left[16R^2\pi\right]=\cfrac{8\sigma \pi R^2}{\varepsilon_2}$

So,

$\phi_2>\phi_1$

The electric flux emerging through the closed surface

${S_1}$ shown in figure which intersects the spherical conductor

$S,$ due to the presence of a positive charge very near to conductor is:

0%
Positive
0%
Negative
0%
Zero
0%
None of the above

Explanation

As you see, due to

$+q$ charge a

$-ve$ charge will induce on the surface of conductor which is near to the charge.

But there will be a positive charge also induced on the other side and our gaussion surface will thus have positive charge enclosed in it.

$\Rightarrow \quad \phi =\dfrac { +q }{ { \varepsilon }_{ 0 } }$ {positive flux}

$\therefore$ Option A is the correct answer.

A point charge

$Q(C)$ is placed at the origin. Find the electric flux of which an area

$4\pi\ m^2$ on a concentric spherical shell of radius

$R$

0%
$\large{\frac{Q}{R^2 \epsilon_0}}$
0%
$\large{\frac{Q}{ \epsilon_0}}$
0%
$\large{\frac{Q}{4R^2 \epsilon_0}}$
0%
none of above

Explanation

From Gauss law,

$\phi =\dfrac { { Q }_{ inc } }{ { \varepsilon }_{ 0 } }$

For a spherical shell

$\rightarrow$ flux through an area of

${ 4\pi r }^{ 2 }$

${ m }^{ 2 }=\dfrac { Q }{ { \varepsilon }_{ 0 } }$

$\rightarrow$ Flux through 1

${ m }^{ 2 }$ area

$=\dfrac { Q }{ 4\pi { R }^{ 2 }{ \varepsilon }_{ 0 } }$

Also flux through

$4\pi { m }^{ 2 }=\dfrac { 4\pi Q }{ 4\pi { R }^{ 2 }{ \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } =\dfrac { Q }{ { R }^{ 2 }{ \varepsilon }_{ 0 } }$

$\therefore$ we can conclude that flux through an area of

$4\pi { m }^{ 2 }$ on a shell is given by

$=\dfrac { Q }{ { R }^{ 2 }{ \varepsilon }_{ 0 } }$

$\therefore$ Option (A) is the correct answer.

A point charge

$+Q$ is placed just outside an imaginary hemispherical surface of radius

$R$ as shown in the figure.
Which of the following statements is/are correct?

0%
The electric flux passing through the curved surface of the hemisphere is $-\dfrac { Q }{ { 2 }_{ { \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } } \left( 1-\dfrac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 2 } } \right)$
0%
Total flux through the curved and the flat surface is $\dfrac { Q }{ _{ { \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } }$
0%
The component of the electric field normal to the flat surface is constant over the surface
0%
The circumference of the flat surface is an equipotential

Explanation

The correct answers are options (A) and (D).

Hint: Calculate the electric flux passing through the curved surface.

Step 1: Calculate the electric flux passing through the hemisphere.

As shown in the figure, the component of electric field normal to the flat surface is given by

$Ecos\theta$

The solid angle subtended by the flat surface at the point

$P$ is:

$2\pi (1-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt2})$

So, the electric flux passing through the curved surface will be:

$-\dfrac{Q}{\epsilon_0}\dfrac{2\pi(1-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}})}{4\pi}$

$=-\dfrac{Q}{2\epsilon_0}{(1-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}})}$

Step 2: Consider the other options.

Here, both $E$ and $4\theta$ $ changes continuously for different points on the curved surface. So, accordingly option (C) is incorrect.
From the above calculation, we find that the flux through the curved surface is less than $\dfrac{Q}{\epsilon _0}$ . So, option (B) is also incorrect.
However, the circumference of the flat surface is equipotential because the distance of each point on the circumference is equal from the charge $+Q$ . So, option (D) is correct.

Hence, the correct answers are options (A) and (D).

Two large metal sheets having surface charge density

$+\sigma$ and

$-\sigma$ are kept parallel to each other at a small separation distance

$d$ . The electric field at any point in the region between the plates is

0%
$\large{\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}}$
0%
$\large{\frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}}$
0%
$\large{\frac{2\sigma}{\epsilon_0}}$
0%
$\large{\frac{\sigma}{4\epsilon_0}}$

Explanation

Electric field due to sheet

$A$ , is

${ \vec { E } }_{ 1 }=\dfrac { \sigma }{ 2{ \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } i$ {in right side of the sheet}

Also, electric field due to sheet

$B$ , is

${ \vec { E } }_{ 2 }=\dfrac { \sigma }{ 2{ \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } i$ {in left side of the sheet}

$\therefore$ Resultant electric field by parallelogram law of vector addition,

$\vec { E } ={ \vec { E } }_{ 1 }+{ \vec { E } }_{ 2 }$ {

$\because \theta ={ 0 }^{ 0 }$ between

${ \vec { E } }_{ 1 }\& { \vec { E } }_{ 2 }$ }

$=\dfrac { \sigma }{ 2{ \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } +\dfrac { \sigma }{ 2{ \varepsilon }_{ 0 } }$

$\boxed { \vec { E } =\dfrac { \sigma }{ { \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } }$

$\therefore$ Option (A) is the correct answer.

Three infinitely charged sheets are kept parallel to

$x-y$ plane having charge densities as shown. Then the value of electric field at

$'P'$ is:

0%
$\dfrac { -4\sigma }{ { \in }_{ 0 } } \hat { k }$
0%
$\dfrac { 4\sigma }{ { \in }_{ 0 } } \hat { k }$
0%
$\dfrac { -2\sigma }{ { \in }_{ 0 } } \hat { k }$
0%
$\dfrac { 2\sigma }{ { \in }_{ 0 } } \hat { k }$

Explanation

$E$ at

$P$

$=E_{dw\quad to Z=0}+E_{Z=2a}+E_{Z=3a}$

$=-\cfrac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_o}-\cfrac{2 \sigma}{2\epsilon_o}-\cfrac{1 \sigma}{2\epsilon_o}$

$=-\cfrac{4\sigma}{2\epsilon_o}\hat K$

$=-\cfrac{-2\sigma}{\epsilon_o}\hat K$

Two infinite uniform sheet of charge each with surface charge density

$\sigma$ are located at

$x\ =\ a$ and

$x\ =\ -a$ . Which of the following is correct?

0%
$E\ =\ \large{\frac{-\sigma}{\epsilon_0}}\vec{i}$ ; For $x<-a$
0%
$E\ =\ 0$ ; For $-a \lt x \lt a$
0%
$E\ =\ \large{\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}}\vec{i}$ ; For $x>a$
0%
$E\ =\ \large{\frac{2\sigma}{\epsilon_0}}\vec{i}$ ; For $-a \lt x \lt a$

Explanation

At (1)

$\vec { E } =\dfrac { \sigma }{ 2{ \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } +\dfrac { \sigma }{ 2{ \varepsilon }_{ 0 } }$ {due to sheet A & B}

$=\dfrac { \sigma }{ { \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } =\dfrac { \sigma }{ { \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } \{ -i\}$ (directed toward -ve x-axis)

Similarly, at (3)

$\vec { E } =\dfrac { \sigma }{ 2{ \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } +\dfrac { \sigma }{ 2{ \varepsilon }_{ 0 } }$ {due to sheet A & B}

$=\dfrac { \sigma }{ { \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } (i)$ (directed towards +ve x-axis)

But at (2),

$\vec { E } =\dfrac { \sigma }{ 2{ \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } -\dfrac { \sigma }{ 2{ \varepsilon }_{ 0 } }$ {due to opposite direction at electric field}

$=0$

$\therefore$ Option (A), (B) & (C) satisfy the equ. (1), (2) & (3) respectively.

That is why (A), (B) & (C) are correct answer.

Consider a triangular surface whose vertices are three points having co-ordinate A ( 2a, 0, 0 ), B(0, a, 0), C(0, 0, a). If there is a uniform electric field

$E_0\hat{i} + 2 E_0\hat {j} + 3 E_0 \hat {k}$ then flux linled to triangular surface ABC is:

0%
$\dfrac{7E_0a^2}{2}$
0%
$3 E_0a^2$
0%
$\dfrac{11 E_0a^2}{2}$
0%
Zero

Explanation

$\phi = E_0\times \dfrac{1}{2}a^2 + 2E_0\times \dfrac{1}{2}\times 3E_0\times 3a^2$

$= \dfrac{11}{2} E_0a^2$

Two non-conducting spheres of radii

${R}_{1}$ and

${R}_{2}$ and carrying uniform volume charge densities

$+\rho$ and

$-\rho$ , respectively, are placed such that they partially overlap, as shown in the figure. At all points in the overlapping region,

0%
the electrostatic field is zero
0%
the electrostatic potential is constant
0%
the electrostatic field is constant in magnitude
0%
the electrostatic field has different direction

Explanation

In triangle

$PC_1 C_2$

$\vec{r_2} = \vec{d} = \vec{r_1}$

The electrostatic field at point

$P$ is

$\vec{E} = \dfrac{ K \left( \rho \dfrac{4}{3} \pi {R_1}^3 \right) \vec{r_2} }{ {R_1}^3} + \dfrac{ K \left( \rho \dfrac{4}{3} \pi {R_2}^3 \right) \left( \vec{-r_1} \right) }{ {R_2}^3}$

$\vec{E} = K \rho \dfrac{4}{3} \pi \left( \vec{r_2} - \vec{r_1} \right)$

$\vec{E} = \dfrac{\rho}{3 \epsilon_0} \vec{d}$

Hence, option (C) is correct.

The flux of the electric field due to charges distributed in a sphere of radius

$5$ cm is

$10$ Vm. What will be the electric flux, through a concentric sphere of radius

$10$ cm ?

0%
$20\ Vm$
0%
$30 \ Vm$
0%
$5\ Vm$
0%
$10 \ Vm$

Explanation

Given :-

${ \phi }_{ A }=10Vm$

$r=5cm=5\times { 10 }^{ -2 }m$

Now, from Gauss law,

$\phi =\dfrac { { Q }_{ inc } }{ { \varepsilon }_{ 0 } }$

$\therefore$ we can conclude from Gauss law that flux is a quantity which depend on the total charge inside the gaussion surface.

Now, Initially charge contained is same as finally,

$\therefore$ flux will also be some,

$\Rightarrow { \phi }_{ B }=10Vm$ through a surface of

$10cm$

$\therefore$ Option (D) is the correct answer.

Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct?

0%
If the electric field due to a point charge varies as ${r}^{2.5}$ instead ${r}^{-2}$ , then the Gauss law will still be valid.
0%
The Gauss law can be used to calculate the field distribution around an electric dipole.
0%
If the electric field between two point charges is zero somewhere, then the sign of the two charges is the same.
0%
The work done by the external force in moving a unit positive charge from point $A$ at potential ${V}_{A}$ to point $B$ at potential ${V}_{B}$ is $({V}_{B}-{V}_{A})$ .

A positively charged thin metal ring of radius

$R$ is fixed in the

$xy-$ plane with its centre at the origin

$O$ . A negatively charge particle

$P$ is released from rest from the point

$(0, 0, {Z}_{0})$ where

${ Z }_{ 0 }>0$ . Then the motion of

$P$ is

0%
Periodic, for all values of ${Z}_{0}$ satisfying $0<{ z }_{ 0 }<\infty$
0%
simple harmonic, for all values of $0<{ z }_{ 0 }\le R$
0%
approximately simple harmonic, provided ${ z }_{ 0 }\ll R$
0%
such that $P$ crosses $O$ and continues to move along negative $z-$ axis towards $z=-\infty$

Explanation

Ring will attract the (-ve)ly charged particle so, it will come down and when it will go below the ring then its velocity will decrease as force will be in opposite direction with the velocity and then finally it will stop and then will go up and a so, it will have a periodic motion.

Now, if

$z_0<<R,$ then

$\left| F \right| \simeq \dfrac { kQq\left( { z }_{ 0 } \right) }{ { \left( { R }^{ 2 } \right) }^{ 3/2 } }$

$\left| F \right| \simeq \dfrac { kQq\left( { z }_{ 0 } \right) }{ { R }^{ 3 } }$

$\left| F \right| \alpha\;z$ and it is opposite in direction of displacement .

So, it will be nearly a simple harmonic motion.

Hence, this question has multiple answers.

A number of spherical conductors of different radii are changed to same potential. The surface charge density of each conductor is related with its radius as

0%
$\sigma \propto \dfrac{1}{R^2}$
0%
$\sigma \propto \dfrac{1}{R}$
0%
$\sigma \propto R$
0%
None of these

Explanation

$\sigma=\cfrac{q}{A}\,\,\,\,\sigma=\cfrac{q}{4\pi r^{2}}$ (as sphere).

$v=\cfrac{q}{4\pi\epsilon_{0}r}=\cfrac{\sigma r}{\epsilon_{0}}$

$\therefore \sigma=\cfrac{v\epsilon_{0}}{r}$ (As

$v$ is constant).

$\therefore \sigma\propto\cfrac{1}{r}$

An insulated conductor initially free from charge is charged by repeated contacts with a plate which after each contact is replenished to a charge

$Qq/(Q - q)$ .
