(Given : g = 9.8 m/s2)
Two electric dipoles of dipole moments $1.2 \times 10^{-30} \,\mathrm{Cm}$ and $2.4 \times 10^{-30} \,\mathrm{Cm}$ are placed in two different uniform electric fields of strengths $5 \times 10^{4} \,\mathrm{NC}^{-1}$ and $15 \times 10^{4} \,\mathrm{NC}^{-1}$ respectively. The ratio of maximum torque experienced by the electric dipoles will be $\frac{1}{x}$. The value of $x$ is __________.
Explanation:
${{{\rho _1}} \over {{\rho _2}}} = {{{\mu _1}{B_1}\sin 90} \over {{\mu _2}{B_2}\sin 90}}$
$ = {{1.2 \times {{10}^{ - 30}} \times 5 \times {{10}^4}} \over {2.4 \times {{10}^{ - 30}} \times 15 \times {{10}^4}}}$
$ = {1 \over 6}$
A long cylindrical volume contains a uniformly distributed charge of density $\rho \,\mathrm{Cm}^{-3}$. The electric field inside the cylindrical volume at a distance $x=\frac{2 \varepsilon_{0}}{\rho} \mathrm{m}$ from its axis is ________ $\mathrm{Vm}^{-1}$.

Explanation:
$E = {{\rho r} \over {2{\varepsilon _0}}}$
at $r = {{2{\varepsilon _0}} \over \rho }$
$E = {\rho \over {2{\varepsilon _0}}}\left( {{{2{\varepsilon _0}} \over \rho }} \right)$
$ = 1$
Three point charges of magnitude $5 \mu \mathrm{C}, 0.16 \mu \mathrm{C}$ and $0.3 \mu \mathrm{C}$ are located at the vertices $A, B, C$ of a right angled triangle whose sides are $A B=3 \mathrm{~cm}, B C=3 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{~cm}$ and $C A=3 \mathrm{~cm}$ and point $A$ is the right angle corner. Charge at point $\mathrm{A}$ experiences ____________ $\mathrm{N}$ of electrostatic force due to the other two charges.
Explanation:

${F_{AC}} = {{k(5 \times 0.3) \times {{10}^{ - 12}}} \over {9 \times {{10}^{ - 4}}}}$
${F_{AB}} = {{k(5 \times 0.16) \times {{10}^{ - 12}}} \over {9 \times {{10}^{ - 4}}}}$
${F_{net}} = {{k \times {{10}^{ - 12}}} \over {9 \times {{10}^{ - 4}}}}\sqrt {{{1.5}^2} + {{(0.8)}^2}} $
$ = {{{{10}^9} \times {{10}^{ - 12}}} \over {{{10}^{ - 4}}}} \times 1.7 = 17$
The volume charge density of a sphere of radius $6 \mathrm{~m}$ is $2 \,\mu \mathrm{C} \,\mathrm{cm}^{-3}$. The number of lines of force per unit surface area coming out from the surface of the sphere is _______________ $\times 10^{10} \,\mathrm{NC}^{-1}$.
[Given : Permittivity of vacuum $\epsilon_{0}=8.85 \times 10^{-12} \,\mathrm{C}^{2}\, \mathrm{~N}^{-1}-\mathrm{m}^{-2}$ )
Explanation:
$\rho$ = 2 $\mu$c/cm3
R = 6 m
Number of lines of force per unit area = Electric field at surface.
$ = {{KQ} \over {{R^2}}}$
$ = {1 \over {4\pi {\varepsilon _0}}}{{\rho {4 \over 3}\pi {R^3}} \over {{R^2}}}$
$ = {{\rho R} \over {3{ \in _0}}}$
$ = {{2 \times {{10}^{ - 6}} \times {{10}^6} \times 6} \over {3 \times 8.85 \times {{10}^{ - 12}}}}$
$ = 0.45197 \times {10^{12}}$
$ = 45.19 \times {10^{10}}$ N/C
$ \simeq 45 \times {10^{10}}$
Eight similar drops of mercury are maintained at 12 V each. All these spherical drops combine into a single big drop. The potential energy of bigger drop will be ____________ E. Where E is the potential energy of a single smaller drop.
Explanation:
$ \begin{aligned} &q_{i}=\mathrm{q}_{\mathrm{f}} \Rightarrow 8 \times\left(4 \pi \mathrm{E}_{0} \mathrm{R}\right) \times 12=\left(4 \pi E R^{1}\right) \times \mathrm{V}_{f} \\\\ &\Rightarrow 96 \mathrm{R}=\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{f}} \mathrm{R}^{1} \\\\ &\text { And, } 8 \times \frac{4}{3} \pi R^{3}=\frac{4}{3} \pi R^{1} 3 \\\\ &8=\left(\frac{R^{1}}{R}\right)^{3} \end{aligned} $
$ \begin{aligned} & \mathrm{R}^{1}=2 \mathrm{R} \end{aligned} $
From (i) & (ii), we get
So, $96 \mathrm{R}=\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{f}} \times 2 \mathrm{R} \Rightarrow \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{f}}=48$ Volt
$ \begin{aligned} &V_{f}=\frac{1}{2} C_{f} V_{f}^{2}=\frac{1}{2} \times\left(4 \pi \varepsilon_{0} \mathrm{R}^{1}\right) \mathrm{V}_{f}^{2} \\\\ &=\frac{1}{2} \times\left(4 \pi \varepsilon_{0} \times 2 \mathrm{R}\right) \times 48^{2} \\\\ &=\left(\frac{1}{2} \times 4 \pi \varepsilon_{0} R \times 12^{2}\right) \times \frac{48^{2} \times 2}{12^{2}}=32 \,E \end{aligned} $
27 identical drops are charged at 22V each. They combine to form a bigger drop. The potential of the bigger drop will be _____________ V.
Explanation:
Let the charge on one drop is q and its radius is r.
So for one drop $V = {{kq} \over r}$
For 27 drops merged new charge will be Q = 27 q and new radius is R = 3r
So new potential is
$V' = {{kQ} \over R} = 9{{kq} \over r} = 9 \times 22$ V
= 198 V
(1) The electric lines of force entering into a Gaussian surface provide negative flux.
(2) A charge 'q' is placed at the centre of a cube. The flux through all the faces will be the same.
(3) In a uniform electric field net flux through a closed Gaussian surface containing no net charge, is zero.
(4) When electric field is parallel to a Gaussian surface, it provides a finite non-zero flux.
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below
Statement I : An electric dipole is placed at the center of a hollow sphere. The flux of the electric field through the sphere is zero but the electric field is not zero anywhere in the sphere.
Statement II : If R is the radius of a solid metallic sphere and Q be the total charge on it. The electric field at any point on the spherical surface of radius r (< R) is zero but the electric flux passing through this closed spherical surface of radius r is not zero..
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
[g = 9.8 m/s2; $\sin 30^\circ = {1 \over 2}$; $\cos 30^\circ = {{\sqrt 3 } \over 2}$]
Explanation:

Net force on free charged particle
$F = {{k{q^2}} \over {{{(d + x)}^2}}} - {{k{q^2}} \over {{{(d - x)}^2}}}$
$F = - k{q^2}\left[ {{{4dx} \over {{{({d^2} - {x^2})}^2}}}} \right]$
$a = - {{4k{q^2}d} \over m}\left( {{x \over {{d^4}}}} \right)$
$a = - \left( {{{4k{q^2}} \over {m{d^3}}}} \right)x$
So, angular frequency
$\omega = \sqrt {{{4k{q^2}} \over {m{d^3}}}} $
$\omega = \sqrt {{{4 \times 9 \times {{10}^9} \times 10} \over {1 \times {{10}^{ - 6}} \times {1^3}}}} $
$\omega = 6 \times {10^8}$ rad/sec
$\omega = 6000 \times {10^5}$ rad/sec
D = e$-$x sin y $\widehat i$ $-$ e$-$x cos y $\widehat j$ + 2z $\widehat k$ C/m2
Explanation:
$Div.\,\overline E = {\rho \over {{\varepsilon _0}}}$
$ \Rightarrow div.\,\overline D = \rho $
$ \Rightarrow {\partial \over {\partial x}}\left( {{e^{ - x}}\sin y} \right) + {\partial \over {\partial y}}\left( { - {e^{ - x}}\cos y} \right) + {\partial \over {\partial z}}(2z) = \rho $
$\Rightarrow$ $\rho$ = 2 (a constant)
V = 2 $\times$ 10$-$9 m3
q = 2 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 10$-$9 = 4 nC
Explanation:
q = 8$\mu$C/g = 8 $\times$ 10$-$6 C/g = 8 $\times$ 10$-$3 C/kg
s = 10 cm = 0.1 m $\Rightarrow$ E = 100 V/m
We know that, acceleration, a = ${{force(F)} \over {mass(m)}}$
$\Rightarrow$ a = ${{qE} \over m}$ [$\because$ F = qE]
= ${{8 \times {{10}^{ - 6}} \times 100} \over {{{10}^{ - 3}}}}$ = 0.8 ms$-$2
As per question, when electric field is switched on, the body strikes to the wall and then returns back.
For one oscillation,
s = ut + ${1 \over 2}$ at2
$\Rightarrow$ 0.1 = ${1 \over 2}$ $\times$ 0.8 t2 [$\because$ u = 0]
$\Rightarrow$ 0.2 = 0.8 t2
$\Rightarrow$ ${2 \over 8}$ = t2 $\Rightarrow$ t2 = ${1 \over 4}$ $\Rightarrow$ t = ${1 \over 2}$
$\therefore$ Time period = 2 $\times$ ${1 \over 2}$ = 1 s
Therefore, if the collision of the body is perfectly elastic, the time period of motion will be 1s.
The total force on a 1C point charge, placed at the origin, is x $\times$ 103 N.
The value of x, to the nearest integer, is __________. [Take ${1 \over {4\pi {\varepsilon _0}}} = 9 \times {10^9}$ Nm2/C2]
Explanation:
${F_{total}} = {{k{q_1}{q_2}} \over {r_1^2}} + {{k{q_1}{q_3}} \over {r_2^2}} + {{k{q_1}{q_4}} \over {r_3^2}} + .....$
$ = 9 \times {10^9} \times {10^{ - 6}}\left[ {1 + {{\left( {{1 \over 2}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {{1 \over {{2^2}}}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {{1 \over {{2^3}}}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {{1 \over {{2^\infty }}}} \right)}^2}} \right]$
$ = 9 \times {10^9} \times {10^{ - 6}}\left[ {{1 \over {1 - {1 \over 4}}}} \right]$
$ \because $ $\left[ {{S_\infty } = {a \over {1 - r}}} \right]$ for G.P.
$ = 9 \times {10^3} \times {4 \over 3}$ = 12 $\times$ 103 N
Explanation:
$ = {{{E_0}} \over 5}\left( {2\widehat i + 3\widehat j} \right)\,.\,\left( {0.4\widehat i} \right)$
$ = {{4000} \over 5}\left( {2 \times 0.4} \right)$
$ = 640$ Nm2 C$-$1
Explanation:
R = 3r
Potential energy of smaller drop :
${U_1} = {3 \over 5}{{k{q^2}} \over r}$
Potential energy of bigger drop :
$U = {3 \over 5}{{k{Q^2}} \over R}$
$U = {3 \over 5}{{k{{(27q)}^2}} \over R}$
$U = {3 \over 5}k{{(27)(27){q^2}} \over {3r}}$
$U = {{(27)(27)} \over 3}\left( {{3 \over 5}{{k{q^2}} \over r}} \right)$
$U = 243\,{U_1}$
[Given : $4\pi {\varepsilon _0} = {1 \over {9 \times {{10}^9}}}$ SI unit]
Explanation:
When they brought into contact & then separated by a distance = 0.5 m
Then charge distribution will be

The electrostatic force acting b/w the sphere is
${F_e} = {{k{q_1}{q_2}} \over {{r^2}}}$
$ = {{9 \times {{10}^9} \times 1 \times {{10}^{ - 9}} \times 1 \times {{10}^{ - 9}}} \over {{{(0.5)}^2}}}$
$ = {{900} \over {25}} \times {10^{ - 9}}$
$ \Rightarrow $ ${F_e} = 36 \times {10^{ - 9}}N$
Explanation:
T sin$\theta$ = ${{k{q^2}} \over {{r^2}}}$
T cos$\theta$ = mg
tan$\theta$ = ${{k{q^2}} \over {mg{r^2}}}$
q2 = ${{\tan \theta mg{r^2}} \over k}$
$ \because $ tan$\theta$ = ${{0.1} \over {0.5}} = {1 \over 5}$
${q^2} = {1 \over 5} \times {{10 \times {{10}^{ - 6}} \times 10 \times 0.2 \times 0.2} \over {9 \times {{10}^9}}}$
$q = {{2\sqrt 2 } \over 3} \times {10^{ - 8}}$
after comparison from the given equation a = 20
Explanation:
${\overrightarrow A _a} = 0.2\widehat i$
${\overrightarrow A _b} = 0.3\widehat j$
${\phi _a} = \left( {{3 \over 5}{E_0}\widehat i + {4 \over 5}{E_0}\widehat j} \right).\,0.2\widehat i$
$ \Rightarrow $ ${\phi _a} = {3 \over 5}{E_0} \times 0.2$
${\phi _b} = \left( {{3 \over 5}{E_0}\widehat i + {4 \over 5}{E_0}\widehat j} \right).\,0.3\widehat j$
$ \Rightarrow $ ${\phi _b} = {4 \over 5}{E_0} \times 0.3$
${a \over b} = {{{\phi _a}} \over {{\phi _b}}} = {{{3 \over 5}{E_0} \times 0.2} \over {{4 \over 5}{E_0} \times 0.3}} = {6 \over {12}} = 0.5$
Explanation:
radius = r
$v = {{kq} \over r}$
$ \Rightarrow $ $2 = {{kq} \over r}$
radius of bigger
${4 \over 3}\pi {R^3} = 512 \times {4 \over 3}\pi {r^3}$
$R = 8r$
$ \therefore $ $v = {{k(512)q} \over R} = {{512} \over 8}{{kq} \over r} = {{512} \over 8} \times 2$
$ = 128V$
Explanation:
Given, charge, q = 12 $\mu$C = 12 $\times$ 10$-$6C
Height of charge from surface, h = 6 cm = 6 $\times$ 10$-$2 m and side of square, a = 12 cm = 12 $\times$ 10$-$2 m
Using Gauss law, it is a part of cube of side 12 cm and charge at centre so;
$\phi = {Q \over {6{\varepsilon _0}}} = {{12\mu c} \over {6{\varepsilon _0}}} = 2 \times 4\pi \times 9 \times {10^9} \times {10^{ - 6}}$
$ = 226 \times {10^3}$ Nm2 / C
${{{Q_1}} \over {{Q_2}}}$ is proportional to :
