    Solution

     

  • Question 3
    1 / -0

    Which one of the following statement regarding electrostatics is wrong ?

    Solution

    A stationary charge doesn't produce a magnetic field , it only produces an electric field.

     

  • Question 4
    1 / -0

    Two similar charge of +Q , as shown in figure are placed at A and B. _q charge is placed at point C midway between A and B. _q charge will oscillate if

    Solution

    When -q is displaced left or right of the force is increased so -q move towards that force hence will not perform SHM but when its displaced to AB it will perform SHM because it will return to its mean position.

     

  • Question 5
    1 / -0

    When the distance between two charged particle is halved, the force between them becomes

    Solution

    Earlier force between two particles is 
    F=kq1​q2​​/ r2
    When distance is halved force becomes 
    F′= kq1​q2/(r/2)2 ​​=4kq1​q2/r2​​=4F

     

  • Question 6
    1 / -0

    Two point charges in air at a distance of 20 cm. from each other interact with a certain force. At what distance from each other should these charges be placed in oil of relative permittivity 5 to obtain the same force of interaction

    Solution

     

  • Question 7
    1 / -0

    A certain charge Q is divided at first into two parts, (q) and (Q-q). Later on the charges are placed at a certain distance. If the force of interaction between the two charges is maximum then

    Solution

    The force between q & Q-q is given by :-
    F = kq(Q-q)/r²
    As it is given that force between these two is Maximum....so it will be max. when dF/dq is zero
    i.e, dF/dq = {k(Q-2q)}/r² = 0
    so, Q = 2q
    Q/q = 2/1

     

  • Question 8
    1 / -0

    Two small balls having equal positive charge Q (Coulomb) on each are suspended by two insulating strings of equal length 'L' metre, from a hook fixed to a stand. The whole set up is taken in a satellite in to space where there is no gravity (state of weight lessness). Then the angle (q) between the two strings is

    Solution

    There is a condition of weightlessness in a satellite.
    Therefore, mg=0
    Due to electrostatic force of repulsion between the balls, the string would become horizontal.
    Therefore, angle between the string =180

     

  • Question 9
    1 / -0

    Two point charges -1 × 10-6 C and 4 × 10-6 C separated by 3 m distance have zero field location of

    Solution

    x=l/[ √(q2/q1)-1]
    =3/√[(4x10-6/1x10-6)-1]
    = (3/2)-1
    =3
    So, 3m away from -1x10-6C

     

  • Question 10
    1 / -0

    Two charges 4q and q are placed 30 cm. apart. At what point the value of electric field will be zero

    Solution

    Where E=0 this point is called neutral point.
    it is the point where electric field of both charge is same
    we know tha t E=kQ/r^2
    here k=1/4pi€
    for 4q charge
    let at ''a'' distance we get E=0 which is from q charge
    so distance from 4q of 'a' point is 30-a
    electric field by 4q charge on a is
    E=k4q/(30-a)^2
    electric field by q charge on a point
    E=kq/a^2
    both electric field are equal so put them equal
    k4q/(30-a)^2=kq/a^2
    solve this we get
    4a^2=(30-a)^2
    2a=30-a
    3a=30
    a=10
    so at a distance 10cm from charge q we get E=0
    distance from 4q charge 30-10=20cm.

     

  • Question 11
    1 / -0

    If Q =2 coloumb and force on it is F=100 newtons , Then the value of field intensity will be

    Solution

    Electric force on a charge q placed in a region o electric field intensity is E and it is given by F = qE.
    In this case, F = 100 N and q = 2 C.
    So, E=F/q​=100N/2C​=50 N/C.
    Hence, the value of field intensity will be 50 N/C.

     

  • Question 12
    1 / -0

    Four equal but like charge are placed at four corners of a square. The electric field intensity at the center of the square due to any one charge is E, then the resultant electric field intensity at centre of square will be

    Solution

    As the components of electric field intensity at diagonal are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, thus the intensity of electric field will be zero.

     

  • Question 13
    1 / -0

    If mass of the electron = 9.1 × 10-31 Kg. Charge on the electron = 1.6 × 10-19coulomb and g = 9.8 m/s2. Then the intensity of the electric field required to balance the weight of an electron is

    Solution

    We know that, qE=mg
    So,E=mg/q
    E=9.1x10-31x9.8x1019/1.6
    E=9.1x9.8x10-12/1.6
    E=5.6x10-11

     

  • Question 14
    1 / -0

    The electric field intensity at a point situated 4 meters from a point charge is 200 N/C. If the distance is reduced to 2 meters, the field intensity will be

    Solution

    Field intensity is proportional to the inverse of the square of the distance separating the point charges:

    F = k*q1*q2/d^2

    Since k, q1, and q2 are assumed to be constant, their product can be combined to form a single constant:

    K = k*q1*q2, so

    F = K/d^2 (and by algebraic manipulation we have K=F*d^2).

    Therefore we know that

    F(at d=4) = K/4^2, and

    F(at d=2) = K/2^2.

    Since K is a constant, we can equate K=F*d^2 for each case:

    K=F(at d=4)*4^2 = F(at d=2)*2^2

    so

    F(at d=2) = (F(at d=4)*4^2)/2^2

    F(at d=2) = 200N/C * (4^2)/(2^2) = 200N/C *16/4 = 800N/C.

     

  • Question 15

    At position of (4i + 3j) by a point charge 5 × 10-6 C placed at origin will produce electric field of

    Solution

     

  • Question 16
    1 / -0

    Two identical point charges are placed at a separation of l.P is a point on the line joining the charges, at a distance x from any one charge. The field at P is E. E is plotted against x for values of x from close to zero to slightly less than l. Which of the following best represents the resulting curve ?

    Solution

    At point P, 
    E=E1​−E2​ rightward
    ⟹E=(kq/x2​)−(kq/(l−x)2​)   where k=1/4πϵo​ 
    ⟹E=kq (l(l−2x)​/x2(l−x)2
    From graph we can see that it can't be straight line and E=0 at x=l/2​
    At x=0 ,,E→∞  and at x=l, E→−∞
    Hence, from the shown graphs the correct answer is (D).

     

  • Question 17
    1 / -0

    A particle of mass m and charge Q is placed in an electric field E which varies with time t ass E = E0 sinwt. It will undergo simple harmonic motion of amplitude

    Solution

    Due to verifying electric field, it experiences an verifying force :-
    F=QE=QE0​sinωt
    at maximum amplitude A, it experience a maximum force of:-
    Fmax​=QE0​
    also, Restoring force in SHM is given by: - F=mω2x
    for amplitude, x=A OR,
    2A=QE0​
    ⇒A= QE0/mω2

     

  • Question 18
    1 / -0

    Four charges are arranged at the corners of a square ABCD, as shown. The force on +ve charge kept at the centre of the square is

  • Question 19
    1 / -0

    Two free positive charges 4q and q are a distance l apart. What charge Q is needed to achieve equilibrium for the entire system and where should it be placed form charge q ?

    Solution

    Let"r" be the distance from the charge q where Q is in equilibrium .Total Force acting on Charge q and 4q:
    F=kqQ/r² + k4qQ/(l-r)²
    For Q to be in equilibrium , F should be equated to zero.
    kqQ/r² + k4qQ/(l-r)²=0
    (l-r)²=4r²
    ⇒l-r=2r
    ⇒l=3r
    ⇒r=l/3
    Taking the third charge to be -Q (say) and then on applying the condition of equilibrium on + q charge
    kQ/(L/3)² =k(4q)/L²
    9kQ/L²=4kq/L²
    9Q=4q
    Q=4q/9
    Therefore a point charge -4q/9 should be placed at a distance of L/3 rightwards from the point charge +q on the line joining the 2 charges.

     

  • Question 20
    1 / -0

    Six charges are placed at the corner of a regular hexagon as shown. If an electron is placed at its centre O, force on it will be

    Solution

    The charges will be balanced by their counterparts on the opposite side. So, eventually the charges remaining will be 2q and b and 3q on D.
    Since the charge distribution is asymmetrical, the net force on charge would be skewed towards D.

     

  • Question 21
    1 / -0

    A charged particle of charge q and mass m is released from rest in an uniform electric field E. Neglecting the effect of gravity, the kinetic energy of the charged particle after time 't' seconds is

    Solution

    Force on particle=F=qE
    Hence, acceleration of particle=a=F/m​=qE/m​
    Initial speed=u=0
    Hence, final velocity=v=u+at=qEt/m​
    Kinetic energy=K=(1/2)​mv2=(1/2)​m(qEt/m​)2
    ⟹K=E2q2t2​/2m

     

  • Question 22
    1 / -0

    Two identical positive charges are fixed on the y-axis, at equal distances from the origin O. A particle with a negative charge starts on the x-axis at a large distance from O, moves along the +x-axis, passes through O and moves far away from O. Its acceleration a is taken as positive along its direction of motion. The particle's acceleration a is plotted against its x-coordinate. Which of the following best represents the plot ?

    Solution

    Consider the attached free body diagram for the given scenario.
    From coulomb's law,
    ∣F1​∣=∣F2​∣= qQ /4πεo​r2
    In y-direction, forces cancel, Fy​=0
    In x-direction, forces add up. Also, it is directed in +ve x direction if the position of −q is along −ve x axis and in −ve x direction if the position of −q is along +ve x axis.
    Hence, 
    Fx​=2qQcosθ​ i /4πεo​r2    ∀ x<0
    Fx​=2qQcosθ​ i /4πεo​r2    ∀ x≥0
    But cosθ =x/r
           r= √x2+d2​
    Substituting in force equation, we get
    Fx​=2qQx​ i /4πεo​( x2+d2​)3/2  ∀ x<0
    Fx​=2qQx i /4πεo​( x2+d2​)3/2  ∀ x≥0

    Now, a=F/m​ by Newton's second law. It is positive when x is negative and negative when x is positive. 

     

  • Question 23
    1 / -0

    Four equal positive charges are fixed at the vertices of a square of side L. Z-axis is perpendicular to the plane of the square. The point z = 0 is the point where the diagonals of the square intersect each other. The plot of electric field due to the four charges, as one moves on the z-axis.

  • Question 24
    1 / -0

    A small circular ring has a uniform charge distribution. On a far-off axial point distance x from the centre of the ring, the electric field is proportional to

    Solution

    Electric field due to a charged ring in given by: -
    at point p
    ∣​E∣​= KQx​ /(R2+x2)3/2        Q =λ(2πr)
    at a large distance, x≫R, so :- R2+x2≃x2
    ⇒∣​E∣​= K&x​/(x2)3/2=KQ/x2​=Eαx−2
    so at a large distance, the ring behaves as a point particle.

     

  • Question 25
    1 / -0

    A nonconducting ring of radius R has uniformly distributed positive charge Q. A small part of the ring, of length d, is removed (d<<R). The electric field at the centre of the ring will now be

    Solution

    If we fill the gap then there will be no electric field at the center of ring
    This signifies that electric field due to rest ring is equal to electric field due to gap and opposite in direction
    so electric field due to gap= Kq/R2
    q=Qd/2πR​
    thus electric field E=KQd​/ R3
    Hence E will be inversely proportional to R and direction will be toward the gap.

     

  • Question 26
    1 / -0

    The electric field intensity at a point situated 4 meters from a point charge is 200 N/C. If the distance is reduced to 2 meters, the field intensity will be

  • Question 27
    1 / -0

    The direction (θ) of E at point P due to uniformly charged finite rod will be -

    Solution

    The angle suspended by the finite line charge at P=60°
    So, the resultant electric field due to line charge will be at 60/2⇒30° since we can assume the charge concentrated at the centre of finite line charge.

     

  • Question 28
    1 / -0

    When charge of 3 coulomb is placed in a Uniform electric field , it experiences a force of 3000 newton, within this field, potential difference between two points separated by a distance of 1 cm is-

    Solution

    Electric force F=qE
    given, F=3000N,q=3C
    ∴E=F/q​=3000/3​=1000 V/m
    Potential difference, V=Ed where d=0.01m
    ∴V=1000×0.01=10V

     

  • Question 29
    1 / -0

    An electric dipole is placed at an angle of 30° with an electric field intensity 2 × 105 N/C. It experiences a torque equal to 4 N m. The charge on the dipole, if the dipole length is 2 cm, is

  • Question 30
    1 / -0

    Electric potential is a -

    Solution

    Electric potential is a pure Scalar quantity, The reason is as follows.
    The Electric Potential is defined as the amount of work-done per unit positive charge to bring from infinity to that point under the influence of the primary charge only.
    U=W/q
    And work done is defined as the dot product of force and displacement which is a scalar quantity.
    W=F.S
    Thus Electric potential is a scalar quantity.
