The charges will be balanced by their counterparts on the opposite side. So, eventually the charges remaining will be 2q and b and 3q on D.
Since the charge distribution is asymmetrical, the net force on charge would be skewed towards D.

Given that, A charge q is placed at the centre of open end Q a cylindrical vessel,we have to find the flux through the surface of the vessel.
so, when charge Q is placed at the centre of open end of a cylindrical vessel then only half of the charge will contribute to the flux, because half will lie inside the surface and half will lie outside the surface.
so, flux through the surface of vessel is q/2ε0

**Explanation:**
When two charges are placed in close proximity to each other, they exert a force on each other. This force is known as the electrostatic force. The electrostatic force between two charges is governed by Coulomb's Law, which states that the force is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
In this case, we have a positive charge of 1C and a negative charge of -4C. According to Coulomb's Law, the force between these two charges will be attractive because one charge is positive and the other is negative. The force will act along the line connecting the two charges, from the positive charge to the negative charge.
To determine the direction of the force, we can use a simple mnemonic: "like charges repel, opposite charges attract." Since the charges in this scenario are opposite (positive and negative), they will attract each other. Therefore, the force will act from the positive charge (1C) towards the negative charge (-4C).
Hence, the correct answer is option C: "From 1C to -4C."

Since the charge goes to outer surface when given inside so the charges on concentri shells are respectively.
Q1, Q1 + Q2, Q1 + Q2 + Q3. Sine their charge densities are equal so σ1 = σ2 = σ3
So Q1 = 3Q2 = 5Q3 so 1 : 3 : 5

Where E=0 this point is called neutral point.
it is the point where electric field of both charge is same
we know tha t E=kQ/r^2
here k=1/4pi€
for 4q charge
let at ''a'' distance we get E=0 which is from q charge
so distance from 4q of 'a' point is 30-a
electric field by 4q charge on a is
E=k4q/(30-a)^2
electric field by q charge on a point
E=kq/a^2
both electric field are equal so put them equal
k4q/(30-a)^2=kq/a^2
solve this we get
4a^2=(30-a)^2
2a=30-a
3a=30
a=10
so at a distance 10cm from charge q we get E=0
distance from 4q charge 30-10=20cm.

The force between q & Q-q is given by :-
F = kq(Q-q)/r²
As it is given that force between these two is Maximum....so it will be max. when dF/dq is zero
i.e, dF/dq = {k(Q-2q)}/r² = 0
so, Q = 2q
Q/q = 2/1
F = kq(Q-q)/r²
As it is given that force between these two is Maximum....so it will be max. when dF/dq is zero
i.e, dF/dq = {k(Q-2q)}/r² = 0
so, Q = 2q
Q/q = 2/1

An isolated conductor is any metal object not connected to or not in contact with any other conductor . one of its common properties is that there is no charge of any nature within the surface of the conductor. All charge, if any, always resides on the outer surface only.thus , if we place any amount of charge, it would tend to reside on its surface.

| | Hansa Sharma answered |
The ratio of a medium's permittivity to the permittivity of free space is known as the dielectric constant or relative permittivity. The equation for relative permittivity is κ = ϵ/ϵ0, where ϵ is the permittivity of the medium and ϵ0 is the permittivity of free space. Both permittivity and the permittivity of free space have the same unit, farads per meter (F/m), so the dielectric constant is dimensionless.

| | Nandita Ahuja answered |
Explanation:
Electrostatics is the study of electric charges at rest. It deals with the electric forces between charges, the electric field and potential, and the distribution of charges on conductors.
a) Charge is quantized:
The charge on a body or a particle is always a multiple of the elementary charge (1.6 × 10^-19 C). This means that charge is quantized, and we cannot have a fraction of an elementary charge. This is known as the law of conservation of charge.
b) Charge is conserved:
The total charge in a closed system is always conserved. This means that the net charge of a system cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be transferred from one object to another.
c) There is an electric field near an isolated charge at rest:
An isolated charged object creates an electric field around it. This electric field is a vector field that exerts a force on other charged objects in the vicinity of the charged object. The electric field is proportional to the charge and inversely proportional to the distance from the charged object.
d) A stationary charge produces both electric and magnetic fields:
This statement is incorrect. A stationary charge produces only an electric field, not a magnetic field. However, a moving charge produces both electric and magnetic fields.
Conclusion:
Hence, the correct option is (d), which is wrong.

 | Ayush Joshi answered |
The coulomb (symbolized C) is the standard unit of electric charge in the International System of Units (SI). It is a dimensionless quantity, sharing this aspect with the mole. A quantity of 1 C is equal to approximately 6.24 x 1018, or 6.24 quintillion.
In terms of SI base units, the coulomb is the equivalent of one ampere-second. Conversely, an electric current of A represents 1 C of unit electric charge carriers flowing past a specific point in 1 s. The unit electric charge is the amount of charge contained in a single electron.

Protons flow from the conductor to the earth.
c)
Electrons flow from the earth to the conductor.
d)
Electrons flow from the conductor to the earth.
| | Riya Banerjee answered |
Explanation:
When a negatively charged conductor is connected to the earth, electrons will flow from the conductor to the earth. This is because electrons have a negative charge and they will be repelled from the negatively charged conductor and attracted to the positively charged earth. As electrons flow from the conductor to the earth, the negative charge on the conductor will gradually decrease until it becomes neutral.
- Option A is incorrect because charge flow does occur when a negatively charged conductor is connected to the earth.
- Option B is incorrect because protons have a positive charge and they are not free to move in a conductor.
- Option C is incorrect because electrons flow from the earth to the conductor, not the other way around.

Coulombs law states the force between two charged particles is directly proportional to the product of charges and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.
So if the distance is doubled then the force would decrease 4 times.
So the new force would be 120/4=30 Newton.
So if the distance is doubled then the force would decrease 4 times.

Force on particle=F=qE
Hence, acceleration of particle=a=F/m=qE/m
Initial speed=u=0
Hence, final velocity=v=u+at=qEt/m
Kinetic energy=K=(1/2)mv2=(1/2)m(qEt/m)2
⟹K=E2q2t2/2m

The charge given out in one second = 1.6 x 10-19 C x 109 = 1.6 x 10-10C
Time required to accumulate a charge of 1 C
= 1/(1.6 x 10-10) = 6.25 x 109 s = 198 years
Time required to accumulate a charge of 1 C
= 1/(1.6 x 10-10) = 6.25 x 109 s = 198 years

Earthing and Grounding are actually different terms for expressing the same concept. Ground or earth in a mains electrical wiring system is a conductor that provides a low impedance path to the earth to prevent hazardous voltages from appearing on equipment. In electrical engineering, ground or earth is the reference point in an electrical circuit from which voltages are measured, a common return path for electric current, or a direct physical connection to the earth.

Radially outward for +ve charge because it's symmetric. Charges are assumed to be spherical in shape and hence if you apply Gauss law, assuming a spherical Gaussian surface, the electric field MUST be uniformly distributed. Hence they're radial.

Consider the attached free body diagram for the given scenario.
From coulomb's law,
∣F1∣=∣F2∣= qQ /4πεor2
In y-direction, forces cancel, Fy=0
In x-direction, forces add up. Also, it is directed in +ve x direction if the position of −q is along −ve x axis and in −ve x direction if the position of −q is along +ve x axis.
Hence,
Fx=2qQcosθ i /4πεor2 ∀ x<0
Fx=2qQcosθ i /4πεor2 ∀ x≥0
But cosθ =x/r
r= √x2+d2
Substituting in force equation, we get
Fx=2qQx i /4πεo( x2+d2)3/2 ∀ x<0
Fx=2qQx i /4πεo( x2+d2)3/2 ∀ x≥0
Now, a=F/m by Newton's second law. It is positive when x is negative and negative when x is positive. This is satisfied only in option (B).
