A paisa coin is made up of \(Al-Mg\) alloy and weighs \(0.75~\text g.\) It has a square shape and its diagonal measures \(17~\text{mm}.\) It is electrically neutral and contains equal amounts of positive and negative charges. Treating the paisa coin as if it were made up of only Aluminum \(Al,\) find the magnitude of the equal number of positive and negative charges. What conclusion do you draw from this magnitude?
| 1. | \(3.48\times 10^4~\text C, \) everyday objects contain enormous amounts of charge |
| 2. | \(5.4\times 10^4~\text C, \) The net charge of neutral objects is always significant |
| 3. | \(1.34\times 10^4~\text C, \) The positive and negative charges in neutral objects perfectly cancel out |
| 4. | \(1.34\times 10^4~\text C, \) The amount of positive and negative charge in neutral objects is negligible |
The figure represents a crystal unit of caesium chloride, CsCl. The caesium atoms, represented by open circles are situated at the corners of a cube of side 0.40 nm, whereas a Cl-atom is situated at the centre of the cube. The Cs-atoms are deficient in one electron while the Cl-atom carries an excess electron. What is the net electric field \(E_{net}\) on the Cl-atom due to eight Cs-atoms, and suppose that the Cs-atom at corner A is missing. What is the net force \(F_{net}\) now on the Cl-atom due to seven remaining Cs-atoms?
| 1. | \(E_{net}=1.2 \times 10^9 ~\text{NC}^{-1},~F_{net} = 1.92 \times 10^{-9}~\text N\) |
| 2. | \(E_{net}=0~\text{NC}^{-1},~F_{net} = 1.92 \times 10^{-9}~\text N\) |
| 3. | \(E_{net}=0~\text{NC}^{-1},~F_{net} = 0~\text N\) |
| 4. | \(E_{net}=1.2\times 10^9~\text{NC}^{-1},~F_{net} = 0~\text N\) |
