  • Question 1
    1 / -0

    Two charges, one of \(+5 \mu {C}\) and another of \(-5 \mu {C}\) are kept \(1 {~mm}\) apart. Calculate the dipole moment.

    Solution

    Given:

    Charge on dipole is \(\pm 5 \mu {C}=\pm 5 \times 10^{-6} {C}\) 

    Distance between the charges \(=1 {~mm}=10^{-3} {~m}\)

    We know that:

    Dipole moment is given by:

    \(P={q}(2 {a})\)

    \(=5 \times 10^{-6} \times 2 \times 10^{-3}\)

    \(=10^{-8} {Cm}\)

    Hence, the correct option is (B).

  • Question 2
    1 / -0

    Which of the following material has the highest relative permittivity?

    Solution

    The relative permittivity of the water is highest among the other materials given.

    Permittivity describes the amount of charge needed to generate one unit of electric flux in a particular medium. Accordingly, a charge will yield more electric flux in a medium with low permittivity than in a medium with high permittivity. Thus, permittivity is the measure of a material's ability to resist an electric field.

    Relative permittivity is the ratio of its absolute permittivity ‘\(\epsilon \)’ to free space (empty of matter) permittivity '\(\epsilon_0 \)’ i.e.,

    \(\epsilon_{r}=\frac{\epsilon}{\epsilon_{0}}\)

    Hence, the correct option is (A).

  • Question 3
    1 / -0

    How many coulombs of charge do \(25 \times 10^{31}\) electrons possess?

    Solution

    We know that:

    Charge of one electron \(=1.6 \times 10^{-19}\) Coulomb.

    Therefore,

    Charge of \(25 \times 10^{31}\) electrons will be:

    \({Q}=25 \times 10^{31} \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\)

    \({Q}=40 \times 10^{12} {C}\)

    Hence, the correct option is (C).

  • Question 4
    1 / -0

    A point charge \(+10 \mu {C}\) is at a distance of \(5 {~cm}\) directly above the centre of a square of side \(10 {~cm}\), as shown in Fig. What is the magnitude of the electric flux through the square? (Hint: Think of the square as one face of a cube with edge \(10 {~cm}\) ).

    Solution

    Let us assume that the charge \(q=\pm 10 \mu {C}=10^{-5} {C}\) is placed at a distance of \(5 {~cm}\) from the square \({ABCD}\) of each side \(10 {~cm}\). The square \({ABCD}\) can be considered as one of the six faces of a cubic Gaussian surface of each side \(10 {~cm}\).

    Now, the total electric flux through the faces of the cube as per Gaussian theorem:

    \(\phi=\frac{q}{\epsilon_{0}}\)

    Therefore, the total electric flux through the square ABCD will be:

    \(\phi_{{E}}=\frac{1}{6} \times \phi\)

    \(=\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{{q}}{\epsilon_{0}}\)

    \(=\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{10^{-5}}{8.854 \times 10^{-12}} \quad\) \((\because \epsilon_0 =8.854 \times 10^{-12})\)

    \(=1.88 \times 10^{5} {Nm}^{2} {C}^{-1}\)

    Hence, the correct option is (A).

  • Question 5
    1 / -0

    In Fig. (i) two positive charges q2 and q3 fixed along the y-axis, exert a net electric force in the +x direction on a charge q1 fixed along the x-axis. If a positive charge Q is added at (x, 0) in figure (ii), the force on q1:

    Solution

    The net electrostatic force on the charge qx by the charges q2 and q3 is along the positive x-direction. Therefore, the nature of force between q1, q2 and q1, q3 should be attractive. It means qx should be negative.

    Obviously, due to addition of positive charge Q at (x,0), the force on −q shall increase along the positive x-axis.

    Hence, the correct option is (A).

  • Question 6
    1 / -0

    The capacitance of a spherical capacitor which consists of two concentric spherical shells of radii a and b (a < b) as shown in Fig. is given by:

    Solution

    Given that:

    The radius of the outer shell = b

    The radius of the inner shell = a

    The inner surface of the outer shell has charge +Q.

    The outer surface of the inner shell has induced charge −Q.

    We know that:

    The potential difference between the two shells is given by,

    \(V=\frac{Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_{0} a}-\frac{Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_{0} b}\)

    Where \(\epsilon_{0}\) is the permittivity of free space,

    \(V=\frac{Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_{0}}\left[\frac{1}{a}-\frac{1}{b}\right]\)

    \(\frac{Q}{V}=\frac{4 \pi \epsilon_{0}}{\left[\frac{1}{a}-\frac{1}{b}\right]}\)

    \(C=4 \pi \epsilon_{0} \left(\frac{a b}{b-a}\right)\)

    Hence, the correct option is (A).

  • Question 7
    1 / -0

    A particle of mass m carrying charge \(+q_{1}\) is revolving around a fixed charge \(-q_{2}\) in a circular path of radius r. Calculate the period of revolution.

    Solution

    Since the particle carrying positive charge is revolving around another charge,

    Electrostatic force = Centrifugal force

    \(\Rightarrow\) \(\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_{0}} \frac{{q}_{1} {q}_{2}}{{r}^{2}}={mr} \omega^{2}\)

    \(\Rightarrow\) \(\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_{0}} \frac{{q}_{1} {q}_{2}}{{r}^{2}}=\frac{4 \pi^{2} {mr}}{{T}^{2}}\)

    \(\Rightarrow\) \({T}^{2}=\frac{\left(4 \pi \epsilon_{0}\right) {r}^{2}\left(4 \pi^{2} {mr}\right)}{{q}_{1} {q}_{2}}\)

    \(\Rightarrow\) \({T}=4 \pi {r} \sqrt{\frac{\pi \epsilon_{0} {mr}}{{q}_{1} {q}_{2}}}\)

    Hence, the correct option is (A).

  • Question 8
    1 / -0

    An electric dipole, when held at \(30^{\circ}\) with respect to a uniform electric field of \(10^{4} {~N} / {C}\) experiences a torque of \(9 \times 10^{-26} {Nm}\). Calculate the dipole moment of the dipole.

    Solution

    Given, 

    Electric field, \(E=10^{4} {NC}^{-1}\) 

    Torque,

    \({T}=9 \times 10^{-26} {Nm}\)

    \(\theta=30^{\circ}\)

    When electric dipole is placed at an angle \(\theta\) with the direction of the electric field, torque acting on the dipole is given by,

    \({T}=p {E} \sin \theta\)

    \(\therefore\) The electric moment of the dipole,

    \( p =\frac{{T}}{{E} \sin \theta}\)

    \(=\frac{9 \times 10^{-26}}{10^{4} \times \sin 30^{\circ}}\)

    \(=\frac{9 \times 10^{-26}}{10^{4} \times 0.5}\)

    \(=1.8 \times 10^{-19} {Cm} \)

    Hence, the correct option is (A).

  • Question 9
    1 / -0

    A dielectric slab of thickness \(1.0 {~cm}\) and dielectric constant 5 is placed between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor of plate area \(0.01 {~m}^{2}\) and separation \(2.0 {~cm}\). Calculate the change in capacity on introduction of dielectric.  

    Solution

    Given,

    Thickness of the dielectric slab, \({t}=1 {~cm}=10^{-2} {~m}\)

    Dielectric constant, \(\varepsilon_{{r}}={K}=5\)

    Area of the plates of the capacitor, \(A=0.01 {~m}^{2}=10^{-2} {~m}^{2}\)

    Distance between parallel plates of the capacitor, \({d}=2 {~cm}=2 \times 10^{-2} {~m}\)

    We know that:

    Capacity with air in between the plates,

    \(C_{0}=\frac{\epsilon_{0} A}{d}\)

    where, \(\epsilon_{0}=8.854 \times 10^{-12} \)

    \(=\frac{8.85 \times 10^{-12} \times 10^{-2}}{2 \times 10^{-2}}\)

    \({C}_{0}=4.425 \times 10^{-12}\) Farad

    Capacity with dielectric slab in between the plates,

    \({C}=\frac{\epsilon_{0} {~A}}{{~d}-{t}\left(1-\frac{1}{{~K}}\right)}\)

    \(=\frac{8.85 \times 10^{-12} \times 10^{-2}}{\left(2 \times 10^{-2}\right)-10^{-2}\left(1-\frac{1}{5}\right)}\)

    \(C=7.375 \times 10^{-12}\) Farad 

    Increase in capacity on introduction of dielectric:

    \({C}-{C}_{0}=\left(7.375 \times 10^{-12}\right)-\left(4.425 \times 10^{-12}\right)\)

    \(=2.95 \times 10^{-12}\) Farad 

    Hence, the correct option is (C).

  • Question 10
    1 / -0

    Calculate the Coulomb force between 2 alpha particles separated by \(3.2 \times 10^{-15} {~m}\).

    Solution

    Given,

    Charge on an alpha particle, \(q_{1}=q_{2}=+2 {e}\)

    Distance between the particles, \(r=3.2 \times 10^{-15} {~m}\)

    We know that:

    Charge on an electron, \(e=1.6 \times 10^{-19}\)

    and, \(\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}=9 \times 10^{9}\)

    Now, using coulomb's law, we get, 

    Force acting on the particles is given by,

    \(\begin{aligned} F &=\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_{0}} \frac{q_{1} q_{2}}{r^{2}} \\ F &=\frac{9 \times 10^{9} \times 2 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 2 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{3.2 \times 10^{-15} \times 3.2 \times 10^{-15}} {~N} \end{aligned}\)

    \(F=90 {~N}\)

    Hence, the correct option is (C).

  • Question 11
    1 / -0

    Find the magnitude of the resultant force on a charge of \(1 \mu {C}\) held at \({P}\) due to two charges of \(+2 \times 10^{-8} {C}\) and \(-10^{-8} {C}\) at \({A}\) and \({B}\) respectively.

    Given, \( {AP}=10 {~cm}\) 

    And, \({BP}=5 {~cm}\) 

    \(\angle {APB}=90^{\circ}\)

    Solution

    Here, F = ?

    Charge at \(P\),

    \(q=1 \mu {C}=10^{-6} {C}\)

    Charge at \(A\),

    \(q_{1}=+2 \times 10^{-8} {C}\)

    Charge at \(B\),

    \(q_{2}=-10^{-8} {C}\)

    \(A P=10 {~cm}=0.1 {~m}\)

    \(B P=5 {~cm}=0.05 {~m}\)

    \(\angle A P B=90^{\circ}\)

    Force at \(P\) due to \(q_{1}\) charge at \(A\),

    \(F_{1}=\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_{0}} \frac{q_1 q}{(A P)^{2}}\), along AP produced,

    \(=\frac{9 \times 10^{9} \times 2 \times 10^{-8} \times 10^{-6}}{(0.1)^{2}}\)

    \(=18 \times 10^{-3} {~N}\)

    Force at \(P\) due to \(q_{2}\) charge at \(B\),

    \(F_{2}=\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_{0}} \frac{q_2 q}{(B P)^{2}}\), along \(B P\)

    \(=\frac{9 \times 10^{9} \times 10^{-8} \times 10^{-6}}{(0.05)^{2}}\)

    \(=36 \times 10^{-3} {~N}\)

    As angle between \(\vec{F}_{1}\) and \(\vec{F}_{2}\) is \(90^{\circ}\),

    \(\therefore~\) Resultant force \(F=\sqrt{F_{1}^{2}+F_{2}^{2}}\)

    \(\begin{aligned} F &=\sqrt{\left(18 \times 10^{-3}\right)^{2}+\left(36 \times 10^{-3}\right)^{2}} \\ &=18 \times 10^{-3} \times 2.236 \\ F &=4.024 \times 10^{-2} {~N} \end{aligned}\)

    Hence, the correct option is (C).

  • Question 12
    1 / -0

    A copper sphere of mass \(2 {~g}\) contains nearly \(2 \times 10^{22}\) atoms. The charge on the nucleus of each atom is 29 e. What fraction of the electrons must be removed from the sphere to give it a charge of \(+2 \mu C\) ?

    Solution

    Given a mass of copper slab \(=2\) g contains \(2 \times 10^{22}\) atoms.

    We have to find the fraction of electrons that must be removed from sphere to give it \(+2 \mu \mathrm{C}\) charge.

    Charge on nucleus of each atom \(=29 \mathrm{e}\)

    \(\therefore\) Net charge on \(2 \mathrm{gm}\) sphere \(=(29 \mathrm{e}) \times\left(2 \times 10^{22}\right)=5.8 \times 10^{23} \mathrm{e} \mathrm{c}\)

    \(\therefore\) No of electrons on sphere \(=5.8 \times 10^{23}\)

    \(\therefore\) Number of electrons removed to give \(2 \mu \mathrm{c}\) charge \(=\frac{\mathrm{q}}{\mathrm{e}}\)

    \( =\frac{2 \times 10^{-6}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}\)  

    \(=1.25 \times 10^{13}\)

    Fraction of electrons removed \(=\frac{1.25 \times 10^{13}}{\text { Total number of electrons in sphere }}\)

    \(=\frac{1.25 \times 10^{13}}{29 \times 2 \times 10^{22}}\)

    \(=2.16 \times 10^{-11}\)

    Hence, the correct option is (D).

  • Question 13
    1 / -0

    What happens to the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor when the area of the plates, as well as the distance between them, is halved?

    Solution

    We know that:

    A capacitor consists of two plates of a conductor and a dielectric insulator between them:

    \(C=\frac{\epsilon A}{d}\)

    Where

    C = capacitance in farad

    ϵ = Permittivity of dielectric

    A = area of plate overlap in square meters

    d = distance between plates in meters

    If the area of the plates is halved i.e., \(\frac{{A}}{2}\) and the distance between them is halved i.e., \(\frac{d}{2}\), then new capacitance is:

    \(C^{\prime}=\frac{\epsilon \frac{A}{2}}{\frac{d}{2}}\)

    \(\therefore {C}^{\prime}={C}\)

    Hence, the correct option is (C).

  • Question 14
    1 / -0

    Find the capacitance of the infinite ladder between points X and Y in the following figure:

    Solution

    Let C be the capacitance of the infinite ladder. 

    As the ladder is infinite, addition of one more element of two capacitors (1 μF and 2 μF) across the points X and Y should not change the total capacitance. 

    Therefore, total capacity of the arrangement shown in figure must remain C only.

    In figure, 2 μF capacitor is in series with capacitance C.

    \(\therefore\) Their combined capacity \(=\frac{2 \times C}{2+C}\)

    This combination is in parallel with \(1 \mu {F}\) capacitor. 

    The equivalent capacity of the arrangement is:

    \(1+\frac{2 C}{2+C}=C\)

    or, \(C^{2}+2 C=2+3 C\)

    or, \(C^{2}-C-2=0\)

    \(\therefore C=2, -1\)

    As capacitance cannot be negative.

    \(\therefore  C=2 \mu {F}\)

    Hence, the correct option is (B).

  • Question 15
    1 / -0

    Determine the voltage (in V) of a battery connected to a parallel plate capacitor (filled with air) when the area of the plate is 10 square centimeters, the separation between the plates is 5 mm and the charge stored on the plates is 2 nC.

    Solution

    Given that, 

    Charge, \((Q)=200 {nC}\)

    Separation between the plates, \(({d})=5 {~mm}\)

    Area of the plate, \((A)=10\) sq.cm.

    Relative permeability of air \(\left(\epsilon_{r}\right)=1\)

    We know that:

    Capacitance, \(C=\frac{\epsilon_{0} \epsilon_{r} A}{d}\)

    \(C=\frac{8.85 \times 10^{-12} \times 1 \times 10 \times 10^{-4}}{5 \times 10^{-3}}\)

    \(C=1.77 {pF}\)

    Also, we know that:

    \(Q=C V\)

    \(V=\frac{Q}{C}\)

    \(=\frac{2 \times 10^{-9}}{1.77 \times 10^{-12}}\)

    \(V=1130 {~V}\)

    Hence, the correct option is (C).

  • Question 16
    1 / -0

    An infinite line charge produces a field of \(9 \times 10^{4} {~N} / {C}\) at distance of \(2 {~cm}\). Calculate the linear charge density.

    Solution

    Given,

    Electric field, \({E}=9 \times 10^{4} {~N} / {C}\) 

    Distance, \(r=2 \times 10^{-2} {~m}\)

    Using the formula of electric field for uniformly charged wire,

    \(E=\frac{\lambda}{2 \pi r \varepsilon_{0}}\)

    \(\therefore \lambda={E} \cdot 2 \pi {r} \cdot \varepsilon_{0}\)

    where, \(\lambda\) is a linear charge density,

    and, \(\epsilon_{0}=8.854 \times 10^{-12} \)

    Then,

    \(\lambda=9 \times 10^{4} \times 2 \pi \times 2 \times 10^{-2} \times 8.854 \times 10^{-12}\)

    \(\lambda=10 \times 10^{-6}\)

    Therefore, 

    Linear charge density, \( \lambda= 10 \mu C/ m \)

    Hence, the correct option is (B).

  • Question 17
    1 / -0

    The electrostatic force of repulsion between two positively charged ions carrying equal charge is \(3.7 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{~N}\), when they are separated by a distance of \(5\)Å. How many electrons are missing from each ion?

    Solution

    Given:

    Electrostatic force of repulsion, \( \mathrm{F}=3.7 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{~N}\)

    Let us say charge is \(q_{1}=q_{2}=q\)

    Distance between two charges, \( r=5\)Å\(=5 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}\)

    The number of electrons missing, \(n=?\)

    Using Coulomb's law,

    \(\mathrm{F}=\frac{1}{4 \pi \in_{0}} \frac{\mathrm{q}_{1} \mathrm{q}_{2}}{\mathrm{r}^{2}}\)

    \(\Rightarrow 3.7 \times 10^{-9}=9 \times 10^{9} \times\frac{\mathrm{q\times  q}}{\left(5 \times 10^{-10}\right)^{2}}\)

    \(\Rightarrow \mathrm{q}^{2}=\frac{3.7 \times 10^{-9} \times 25 \times 10^{-20}}{9 \times 10^{9}}\)

    \(\Rightarrow \mathrm{q}^{2}=10.28 \times 10^{-38}\)

    \(\Rightarrow q=3.2 \times 10^{-19}\) Coulomb

    As, we know that:

    \(q=\text { ne }\)

    \(\therefore n=\frac{q}{e}\)

    \(=\frac{3.2 \times 10^{-19}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}\)

    \(=2\)

    Therefore, the number of electrons missing is \(n=2\).

    Hence, the correct option is (A).

  • Question 18
    1 / -0

    What is the dimensional formula for \(\epsilon_{0}\)?

    Solution

    We know that:

    Permittivity of free space is given by: 

    \(\epsilon_{0}=\frac{\mathrm{q}_{1} \mathrm{q}_{2}}{4 \pi \mathrm{Fr}^{2}}\)

    Dimensions of \([\mathrm{F}]=\left[\mathrm{MLT}^{-2}\right]\)

    Dimensions of \([\mathrm{q}]=[\mathrm{AT}]\)

    Dimensions of \([\mathrm{r}]=[\mathrm{L}]\)

    Thus, dimensional formula of \(\left[\epsilon_{0}\right]=\frac{[\mathrm{AT}][\mathrm{AT}]}{\left[\mathrm{MLT}^{-2}\right]\left[\mathrm{L}^{2}\right]}\)

    \(\Rightarrow\left[\epsilon_{0}\right]=\left[\mathrm{M}^{-1} \mathrm{~L}^{-3} \mathrm{~T}^{4} \mathrm{~A}^{2}\right]\)

    Hence, the correct option is (D).

  • Question 19
    1 / -0

    Find the amount of work done in rotating a dipole of dipole moment \(3 \times 10^{-3} {~cm}\) from its position of stable equilibrium to the position of unstable equilibrium, in a uniform electric field of intensity \(10^{4} {NC}^{-1}\).

    Solution

    Given that:

    Dipole Moment, \(P = 3 \times 10^{-3} {~cm}\) 

    Electric Field Intensity, \(E = 10^{4} {NC}^{-1}\)

    We know that:

    In rotating the dipole from the position of stable equilibrium by an angle θ, the amount of work done is given by,

    \({W}={PE}(1-\cos \theta)\)

    For unstable equilibrium, \(\theta=180^{\circ}\)

    \(\therefore\) \(W=P E\left(1-\cos 180^{\circ}\right) \quad\left[\because \cos 180^{\circ}=-1\right]\)

    \(=2 P E\)

    \(=2 \times 3 \times 10^{-3} \times 10^{4} {~J}\)

    \(=60 {~J}\)

    Hence, the correct option is (B).

  • Question 20
    1 / -0

    Calculate the force between an alpha particle and a proton separated by \(5.12 \times 10^{-15} {~m}\).

    Solution

    Given that:

    Separation distance, \(r=5.12 \times 10^{-15} {~m}\)

    We know that:

    Charge on an electron, \(e= 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \)

    and, \(\frac{1}{4 \pi\epsilon_0}= 9 \times 10^{9} \)

    Charge on an alpha particle is 2e.

    \(\therefore\) Using Coulomb's law,

    \({F}=\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_{0}} \frac{{q}_{1} {q}_{2}}{{r}^{2}}\)

    \(=\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_{0}} \frac{2 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{\left(5.12 \times 10^{-15}\right)^{2}}\)

    \(=9 \times 10^{9} \times 0.195 \times 10^{-8}\)

    \(=17.5 {~N}\)

    Hence, the correct option is (C).

  • Question 21
    1 / -0

    The electric field at a point is:

    Solution

    The electric field due to any charge will be continuous, if there is no other charge in the medium. It will be discontinuous if there is a charge at the point under consideration.

    Hence, the correct option is (D).

  • Question 22
    1 / -0

    Which among the following statement is correct regarding an ideal conductor in a static electric field?

    Solution

    Under the static condition, the electric field inside the solid perfect conductor is zero in electrostatic equilibrium even if:

    • It is isolated.
    • It is charged.
    • It is present in the external electrostatic field.

    Now, it is known that a perfect solid conductor is an equipotential body. The potential inside the conductor is the same as the potential at the surface.

    Since the surface of the solid conductor is an equipotential surface, therefore, the electric field will be perpendicular or in other words normal to the perfectly solid conductor surface.

    Hence, the correct option is (C).

  • Question 23
    1 / -0

    A uniformly charged conducting sphere of 2.4 m diameter has a surface charge density of 80.0 μC/m2. What is the total electric flux leaving the surface of the sphere?

    Solution

    Given,

    Diameter of the sphere \(=2.4\)

    \(\therefore\) Radius of sphere, \(r=\frac{2.4}{2}=1.2 {~m}\)

    Surface charge density of conducting sphere, \(\sigma=80 \times 10^{-6} {C} / {m}^{2}\)

    Therefore,

    Charge on sphere will be:

    \(q=\sigma A=\sigma 4 \pi r^{2}\)

    \(q=80 \times 10^{-6} \times 4 \times 3.14 \times(1.2)^{2}\)

    \(q=1.45 \times 10^{-3} {C}\)

    Then, the total electric flux leaving the surface of the sphere will be calculated using the gauss formula, i.e.,

    \(\phi=\frac{q}{\varepsilon_{0}}\)

    \(\phi=\frac{1.45 \times 10^{-3}}{8.854 \times 10^{-12}} \quad\) \( (\because \epsilon_{0}=8.854 \times 10^{-12}) \)

    \(\phi=1.6 \times 10^{8} {Nm}^{2} / {C}\)

    Hence, the correct option is (D).

  • Question 24
    1 / -0

    By what factor, the electric force between two electrons greater than the gravitational force between them?

    Solution

    We know that:

    Electrostatic force \(=\frac{K Q_{1} Q_{2}}{r^{2}}\)\(\quad\)......(1)

    Gravitational force \(=\frac{G m_{1} m_{2}}{r^{2}}\)\(\quad\)......(2)

    On dividing the two we get,

    \(\frac{\text{Electrostatic Force}}{\text{Gravitational Force}}=\frac{\frac{{KQ}_{1} \mathrm{Q}_{2}}{\mathrm{r}^{2}}}{\frac{{Gm}_{1} \mathrm{~m}_{2}}{ \mathrm{r}^{2}}}\)

    \(\frac{\text{Electrostatic Force}}{\text{Gravitational Force}}=\frac{9.0 \times 10^{9} \times\left(1.6 \times 10^{-19}\right)^{2}}{6.67 \times 10^{-11} \times\left(9.1 \times 10^{-31}\right)^{2}}\)

    Electrostatic Force \(=4 \times 10^{42}\) Gravitational Force 

    Therefore, electrostatic force between two electrons is greater than gravitational force by a factor of \(10^{42}\).

    Hence, the correct option is (B).

  • Question 25
    1 / -0

    An infinite line charge produces a field of \(9 \times 10^{4} {NC}^{-1}\) at a distance of \(2 {~cm}\). Calculate the linear charge density.

    Solution

    For infinite long line charge,

    \(E=\frac{\lambda}{2 \pi \epsilon_{0} r}=\frac{2 \lambda}{4 \pi \epsilon_{0} r}\)

    \(\lambda=\) linear charge density

    Distance, \(r= 2 {~cm} \) 

    We have,

    \({E}=9 \times {10}^{4} {~N} / {C}\)

    Therefore,

    \(9 \times 10^{4}=\frac{2 \times \lambda \times 9 \times 10^{9}}{2 \times 10^{-2}} \quad\) \((\because \frac {1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} =9 \times 10^{9} \text { N m}^2 / \text{C}^2 ) \)

    \(\lambda=\frac{10^{4}}{10^{11}}=10^{-7} {~cm}\)

    Hence, the correct option is (D).

  • Question 26
    1 / -0

    Find the electric charge \({Q}_{1}\) on plates of capacitor \({C}_{1}\), shown in Figure 3 below:

    Solution

    Let, 

    Effective capacitance = C 

    Then:

    \(\frac{1}{C}=\frac{1}{C_{1}}+\frac{1}{C_{2}}+\frac{1}{C_{3}}\)

    \(=\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{16}+\frac{1}{24}\)

    \(=\frac{6+3+2}{48}\)

    \(C=\frac{48}{11} \mu F\)

    Potential difference, \(V=110 {~V}\)

    We know that:

    Charge, \(Q=C V\)

    \(Q=\frac{48}{11} \times 10^{-6} \times 110\)

    \(=480 \times 10^{-6}\)

    \(=48 \times 10^{-5}\)

    Since the capacitors are in series each capacitor has same charge i.e., \(48 \times 10^{-5} {C}\).

    Hence, the correct option is (B).

  • Question 27
    1 / -0

    Which of the following is the correct expression for Gauss Law?

    Solution

    According to gauss's law, total electric flux through a closed surface enclosing a charge is \(\frac{1}{\epsilon_{0}}\) times the magnitude of the charge enclosed.

    \(\phi_{\text {electric }}=\frac{Q}{\epsilon_{0}}\)

    \(\oint \vec{E} \cdot d \vec{S}=\frac{Q_{\text {in }}}{\epsilon_{0}}\)

    Where:

    \(\phi :\) electric flux

    \(Q_{\text {in }} :\) charge enclosed the sphere

    \(\epsilon_{0} :\) permittivity of space \(\left(\frac{8.85 \times 10^{-12} {C}^{2}}{{Nm}^{2}}\right)\)

    \({dS} :\) surface area

    Hence, the correct option is (A).

  • Question 28
    1 / -0

    A circuit has a section \({AB}\) as shown in figure. The emf of the source equals \({E}=10 {~V}\), the capacitor capacitances are equal to \({C}_{1}=1.0 \mu {F}\) and \({C}_{2}=2.0 \mu {F}\) and the potential difference \({V}_{{A}}-{V}_{{B}}=5.0 {~V}\). Find the voltage across each capacitor.

    Solution

    Let the charge distribution be as shown in figure:

    \(\therefore V_{A}-V_{B}=\frac{q}{C_{1}}-E+\frac{q}{C_{2}}\)

    or, \( \left(V_{A}-V_{B}\right)+E=q\left(\frac{1}{C_{1}}+\frac{1}{C_{2}}\right)\)

    \( \left(V_{A}-V_{B}\right)+E=\frac{{q}\left({C}_{2}+C_{1} \right)}{{C}_{1} {C}_{2}}\)

    \(\therefore  {q}=\frac{\left[\left({V}_{{A}}-{V}_{{B}}\right)+{E}\right] {C}_{1} {C}_{2}}{{C}_{1}+{C}_{2}}\)

    Voltage across \(C_{1}\) is \(V_{1}=\frac{q}{C_{1}}\)

    \(=\frac{ \left [\left(V_{A}-V_{B}\right)+E\right] C_{2}}{C_{1}+C_{2}}\) 

    \(=\frac{(5+10) 2.0}{1.0+2.0}\)

    \(=10\) Volt

    Voltage across \(C_{2}\) is \(V_{2}=\frac{q}{C_{2}}\)

    \(=\frac{ \left [\left(V_{A}-V_{B}\right)+E\right] C_{1}}{C_{1}+C_{2}}\) 

    \(=\frac{(5+10) 1.0}{1.0 \times 2.0}\)

    \(=5\) Volt

    Hence, the correct option is (A).

  • Question 29
    1 / -0

    The electrostatic force between charges of \(200 \mu {C}\) and \(500 \mu {C}\) placed in free space is \(5 {gf}\). Find the distance between the two charges. Take \(g=10 {~ms}^{-2}\).

    Solution

    Given:

    Charge, \( {q}_{1}=200 \times 10^{-6} {C}=2 \times 10^{-4} {C}\)

    Charge, \( {q}_{2}=500 \times 10^{-6} {C}=5 \times 10^{-4} {C}\)

    Electrostatic force, \({F}=5 {gf}=5 \times 10^{-3} {~kgf}\)

    \(=5 \times 10^{-3} \times 10 {~N}\)

    \(=5 \times 10^{-2} {~N}\)

    We have to find the distance between two charges i.e., r

    Using the formula:

    \({F}=\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{{q}_{1} {q}_{2}}{{r}^{2}}\),  

    \(\Rightarrow 5 \times 10^{-2}=\frac{9 \times 10^{9} \times 2 \times 10^{-4} \times 5 \times 10^{-4}}{r^{2}}\)

    \(\Rightarrow r=1.34 \times 10^{2} {~m}\)

    Hence, the correct option is (C).

  • Question 30
    1 / -0

    How much work is done in moving a charge of 2 coulomb across two points having a potential difference of 5V?

    Solution

    As given work is done in moving a charge of 2 coulombs across two points having a potential difference of 5 volts.

    Therefore,

    \({q}=2\) coulomb

    \({V}=5 \) Volt

    We know that:

    Work Done, \( {W}={q} {V}\)

    Where q is the charge flowing, W is the work done and V is the potential difference.

    \({W}=2 \times 5\)

    \({~W}=10\) joule

    Hence, the correct option is (C).
