Two identical thin rings each of radius R meters are coaxially placed at a distance R meters apart. If Q₁ coulomb and Q₂ coulomb are respectively the charges uniformly spread on the two rings, the work done in moving a charge q from the centre of one ring to that of other is

A.

$\frac{q (Q_{2} - Q_{1}) (\sqrt{2} - 1)}{\sqrt{2} . 4 π ε_{0} R}$

C.

$\frac{q \sqrt{2} (Q_{1} + Q_{2})}{4 π ε_{0} R}$

Explanation

The work done in moving a charge q from the center of one ring to the other is given by the expression: W = (q(Q2 - Q1)(sqrt(2) - 1))/(sqrt(2)*4Ï€Îµ0R). This takes into account the attractive force between q and Q2 and the repulsive force between q and Q1.

Explanation

Outside the charged sphere, (for equal distances from centre) if electric fields at two points are same then both points must be equipotential points.

A uniform electric field pointing in positive x-direction exists in a region. Let A be the origin, B be the point on the x-axis at x = +1 cm and C be the point on the y-axis at y = +1 cm. Then the potentials at the points A, B and C satisfy

A.

V_A < V_B

B.

V_A > V_B

C.

V_A < V_C

D.

V_A > V_C

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.

Explanation

In a uniform electric field pointing in the positive x-direction, the electric potential increases as we move in the positive x-direction. Since point B (x = +1 cm) is farther along the positive x-axis than the origin A (x = 0), the potential at B is higher than the potential at A. Therefore, V_A < V_B.

D.

$\frac{1}{r^{2}}$

Two equal point charges are fixed at x = –a and x = +a on the x-axis. Another point charge Q is placed at the origin. The change in the electrical potential energy of Q, when it is displaced by a small distance x along the x-axis, is approximately proportional to

x

B.

x²

C.

x³

D.

1/x

Explanation

When a point charge Q is displaced by a small distance x along the x-axis, the change in its potential energy due to the two fixed charges (-q at -a and +q at +a) is approximately proportional to x^2. This is because the potential energy of a point charge in an electric field varies inversely with the distance from the source charges.

B.

$\frac{Z e}{4 π ε_{0} m v^{2}}$

C.

$\frac{Z e^{2}}{8 π ε_{0} m v^{2}}$

D.

$\frac{Z e}{8 π ε_{0} m v^{2}}$

Explanation

Suppose distance of closest approach is r, and according to energy conservation applied for elementary charge.

Energy at the time of projection = Energy at the distance of closest approach

⇒ $\frac{1}{2} m v^{2} = \frac{1}{4 π ε_{0}} . \frac{(Z e) . e}{r} \Rightarrow r = \frac{Z e^{2}}{2 π ε_{0} m v^{2}}$

D.

–2V

Explanation

In case of a charged conducting sphere

$V_{inside} = V_{centre} = V_{surface} = \frac{1}{4 π ε_{o}} . \frac{q}{R}$ , $V_{outside} = \frac{1}{4 π ε_{0}} . \frac{q}{r}$

If a and b are the radii of sphere and spherical shell respectively, then potential at their surface will be

$V_{sphere} = \frac{1}{4 π ε_{0}} . \frac{Q}{a}$ and $V_{shell} = \frac{1}{4 π ε_{0}} . \frac{Q}{b}$

∴ $V = V_{sphere} - V_{shell} = \frac{1}{4 π ε_{0}} . [\frac{Q}{a} - \frac{Q}{b}]$

Now when the shell is given charge (–3Q), then the potential will be

$V'_{sphere} = \frac{1}{4 π ε_{0}} [\frac{Q}{a} + \frac{(- 3 Q)}{b}], V'_{shell} = \frac{1}{4 π ε_{0}} [\frac{Q}{b} + \frac{(- 3 Q)}{b}]$

∴ $V'_{sphere} - V'_{shell} = \frac{1}{4 π ε_{0}} [\frac{Q}{a} - \frac{Q}{b}] = V$

Explanation

Energy $= \frac{1}{2} ε_{0} E^{2} \times (A \times d) = \frac{1}{2} ε_{0} (\frac{V^{2}}{d^{2}}) A d$

$= \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{8 .85 \times 10^{- 12} \times {(10^{5})}^{2} \times 25 \times 10^{6}}{0 .75 \times 10^{3}} = 1475 J$
