Which of the following are quantized?
  • a)
    mass and charge 
  • b)
    Energy
  • c)
    Mass 
  • d)
    All of these
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Mikhi Mouse answered
Yes the mass and charge are quantized because the charge is produced by the transfer of electrons and the electrons are transferable only as a whole number .also the mass depends on the number of electrons and so it is also quantized.i think so .anybody who felt it's wrong you can say your comments.

  • b)
    (1) and (2) only

Understanding Lightning Safety
Lightning is a natural phenomenon that can be extremely dangerous. Knowing what to do and what not to do during a lightning storm is crucial for safety.
1. Buildings with Lightning Conductors
- Staying indoors is one of the safest actions during a lightning storm.
- Buildings with lightning conductors are designed to safely redirect lightning strikes into the ground, minimizing risk.
2. Standing Near Metal Frames
- Unsafe Action: Standing near a window with a metal frame can be dangerous.
- Metal can conduct electricity, and if lightning strikes the building, the metal frame may conduct the electrical charge, posing a risk to anyone nearby.
3. Crouching in an Open Field
- Unsafe Action: Crouching down in an open field is not advisable.
- In an open area, you are the tallest object, increasing the likelihood of a lightning strike. Instead, seek shelter immediately.
Conclusion
The correct answer is option 'D' because standing near a window with a metal frame is particularly hazardous during lightning storms. It exposes you to the risk of electrical conduction, while crouching in an open field also poses significant danger.
In summary, prioritize safety by avoiding metal structures and open fields during thunderstorms, while seeking shelter in a well-constructed building.

An electric dipole is place in a uniform electric field. The net electric field on the dipole
  • a)
    can never be zero
  • b)
    depend on the orientation of dipole 
  • c)
    depend on the strength of the dipole
  • d)
    is always zero
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Explanation:

An electric dipole consists of two equal and opposite charges separated by a small distance. When an electric dipole is placed in a uniform electric field, it experiences a torque due to the interaction of the charges with the field. This torque tends to align the dipole with the electric field.

Net Electric Force on the Dipole:
The net electric force on the dipole is the vector sum of the forces experienced by the positive and negative charges that make up the dipole.

Force on Positive Charge:
The positive charge experiences a force in the direction of the electric field. This force is given by the equation F = qE, where F is the force, q is the charge, and E is the electric field.

Force on Negative Charge:
The negative charge experiences a force in the opposite direction of the electric field. This force is also given by the equation F = qE, where F is the force, q is the charge, and E is the electric field.

Net Force:
Since the electric field is uniform, the magnitude of the forces on the positive and negative charges are equal. However, the forces act in opposite directions. Therefore, the net force on the dipole is zero.

Explanation of Options:
a) The net electric force on the dipole can never be zero - This is incorrect, as explained above, the net force on the dipole is zero when it is placed in a uniform electric field.
b) The net electric force on the dipole depends on the orientation of the dipole - This is incorrect, as the net force on the dipole is always zero regardless of its orientation.
c) The net electric force on the dipole depends on the strength of the dipole - This is incorrect, as the net force on the dipole is determined by the electric field and the charges, not the strength of the dipole.
d) The net electric force on the dipole is always zero - This is the correct answer, as explained above, the net force on the dipole is always zero when it is placed in a uniform electric field.

Therefore, option D is the correct answer.

Which of the following statement concerning lightning is/are correct?
1. It is a result of charging
2. The charge at the bottom of the clouds and those induced on the top of the roofs of buildings form a very   strong electric field.
3. Lightning cause the thunder we hear
  • a)
    (2) and (3) only
  • b)
    (1) and (2) only
  • c)
    (1), (2) and (3)
  • d)
    (1) only
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Pie Academy answered
a) Lightning is a naturally occurring electrostatic discharge during which two electrically charged regions in the atmosphere or ground temporarily equalize themselves, causing the instantaneous release of as much as one gigajoule of energy.
b) The charge at the bottom of the clouds and those induced on the top of the roofs of buildings form a very strong electric field.
c) Lightning causes thunder, a sound from the shock wave which develops as gases in the vicinity of the discharge experience a sudden increase in pressure. 

 In some charging process, a body acquires net positive charge then the mass of body.
  • a)
    Remain same 
  • b)
    Decrease
  • c)
    Increases
  • d)
    None of the above
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Vedika Singh answered
Since we know that charging of a body depends upon transfer of electrons. So, if a body becomes negatively charged it will gain electrons that is its mass will increase and if a body becomes positively charged it loses electrons hence its mass will decrease.

A diagram of an irregularly shaped charged conductor is shown at the right figure. Four location along the surface are labeled ABCD. Rank these locations in increasing order of the strength of their electric field beginning with the smallest electric field.

    C < D < A < B
  • b)
    D < A < C < B 
  • c)
    A < D < B < C
  • d)
    B < C < D < A
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Jayant Mishra answered
For conducting surface, electric field are strongest at the location where the curvature is the greatest. A projection (such as at point A) is the extreme case of high carvature. A flat section of a surface (such as point B) is on the opposite extreme with the no curvature. So, point B is listed first and point A is listed last. Since point D is on a section of the surface which curve more than point C. The field at point C is more than field at point B.
The correct answer is: B < C < D < A

The SI unit of electric flux is 
  • a)
    N C-1 m-2 
  • b)
    N C m-2 
  • c)
    N C-1 m2
  • d)
    N C-2 m2 
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Vedika Singh answered
Electric flux has SI units of volt metres (V m), or, equivalently, newton metres squared per coulomb (N m2 C−1). Thus, the SI base units of electric flux are kg·m3·s−3·A−1

A point charge is kept at the mid point between two large parallel grounded conducting plates. Assuming no gravity. The charge is displaced a little towards the right plate. The charge will now
  • a)
    Move towards the left plate
  • b)
    Move towards the right plate
  • c)
    Stay where it is
  • d)
    Oscillate between the plates
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Jayant Mishra answered
When the charge is placed at the mid point, opposite charge will induced on both the plates equally. But when q is displaced toward the right, more charge of the opposite sign will get induced on the right plate than on the left plate. Hence the point charge will feel a net attraction towards the right plate.
The correct answer is: Move towards the right plate
