A conducting sphere of the radius \(R\) is given a charge \(Q.\) The electric potential and the electric field at the centre of the sphere respectively are:
1. | \(\frac{Q}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 {R}^2}\) | zero and2. | \(\frac{Q}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 R}\) and zero |
3. | \(\frac{Q}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 R}\) and \(\frac{Q}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0{R}^2}\) | 4. | both are zero |
Four-point charges \(-Q, -q, 2q~\text{and}~2Q\) are placed, one at each corner of the square. The relation between \(Q\) and \(q\) for which the potential at the center of the square is zero is:
1. | \(Q= -q\) | 2. | \(Q= -2q\) |
3. | \(Q= q\) | 4. | \(Q= 2q\) |
Two metallic spheres of radii \(1~\text{cm}\) and \(3~\text{cm}\) are given charges of \(-1\times 10^{-2}~\text{C}\) and \(5\times 10^{-2} ~\text{C}\), respectively. If these are connected by a conducting wire, then the final charge on the bigger sphere is:
1. \(3\times 10^{-2}~ \text{C}\)
2. \(4\times 10^{-2}~\text{C}\)
3. \(1\times 10^{-2}~\text{C}\)
4. \(2\times 10^{-2}~\text{C}\)
Four electric charges \(+ q,\) \(+ q,\) \(- q\) and \(- q\) are placed at the corners of a square of side \(2L\) (see figure). The electric potential at the point \(A\), mid-way between the two charges \(+ q\) and \(+ q\) is:
1. \(\frac{1}{4 \pi\varepsilon_{0}} \frac{2 q}{L} \left(1 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\right)\)
2. \(\frac{1}{4 \pi\varepsilon_{0}} \frac{2 q}{L} \left(1 - \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\right)\)
3. zero
4. \(\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{2 q}{L} \left(1 + \sqrt{5}\right)\)
Three charges, each \(+q\), are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle \(ABC\) of sides \(BC\), \(AC\), and \(AB\). \(D\) and \(E\) are the mid-points of \(BC\) and \(CA\). The work done in taking a charge \(Q\) from \(D\) to \(E\) is:
1. | \(\frac{3qQ}{4\pi \varepsilon_0 a}\) | 2. | \(\frac{3qQ}{8\pi \varepsilon_0 a}\) |
3. | \(\frac{qQ}{4\pi \varepsilon_0 a}\) | 4. | \(\text{zero}\) |
1. | \(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{C}}=\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{A}} \neq \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{B}}\) |
2. | \(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{C}}=\mathrm{V}_B \neq \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{A}}\) |
3. | \(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{C}} \neq \mathrm{V}_B \neq \mathrm{V}_A\) |
4. | \(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{C}}=\mathrm{V}_B=\mathrm{V}_A\) |
