Explanation

When three identical charged spheres each with charge q and radius R are kept such that they touch each other, the distance between the centers of any two spheres is 2R. The force between any two charges is given by Coulomb's law: $ F = extbackslash frac{1}{4 extbackslash pi extbackslash epsilon_0} extbackslash frac{q^2}{(2R)^2} $. Since there are two such forces acting at an angle of 120 degrees with respect to each other, the resultant force can be calculated using vector addition. The correct expression for this combined force is $ extbackslash frac{1}{4 extbackslash pi extbackslash epsilon_0} extbackslash frac{ extbackslash sqrt 3}{4} extbackslash left ( extbackslash frac{q}{R} extbackslash right ) ^2 $.

Two equal negative charges –q are fixed at points (o, a) and (o, –a) on the Y axis. A positive charge q is released from rest at the point x (x < < a) on the X-axis, then the frequency of motion

A point charge q is situated at a distance r from one end of a thin conducting rod of length L having a charge Q (uniformly distributed along its length). The magnitude of electric force between the two, is ...............

Explanation

To determine the force between a point charge and a uniformly charged rod, we use the principle of superposition and Coulomb's law. Integrating the contributions of small charge elements along the length of the rod gives the expression for the force. The correct formula is $\frac{kqQ}{r(r+L)}$, where k is the Coulomb constant, q is the point charge, Q is the total charge on the rod, and r and L are the given distances. Hence, the correct option is $\frac{kqQ}{r(r+L)}$.

Two point charges of +16 c and –9 c are placed 8 cm apart in air distance of a point from –9 c charge at which the resultant electric field is zero.

Two point masses m each carrying charge –q and +q are attached to the ends of a massless rigid non-conducting rod of length l. The arrangement is placed in a uniform electric field E such that the rod makes a small angle 50 with the field direction. The minimum time needed by the rod to align itself along the field is ........

Explanation

When the rod makes a small angle with the field, it undergoes simple harmonic motion. The formula for the time period of such motion is $T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{qEl}}$, where I is the moment of inertia. For small angles, the time to align is $t = \frac{T}{4} = \frac{\pi}{2} \sqrt{\frac{ml}{2qE}}$.

Explanation

After connection $ V_1 = V_2 , { KQ_1 \over r_1 } = { KQ_2 \over r_2 } \Rightarrow {Q_1 \over Q_2 } = { r_2 \over r_1 } $

The ratio of electric fields $ {E_1 \over E_2 } = { { KQ_1 \over r_1^2} \over {KQ_2 \over r_2^2 }} = { Q_1 \over r_1^2 } \times {r_2^2 \over Q_2 } $ Now calculate

Let $ P(r) = {Q \over \pi R ^4} r $ be the charge density distribution for a solid sphere of radius R and total charge Q. For a point ‘P’ inside the sphere at distance r1 from the centre of the sphere the magnitude of electric field is
