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.

- He atom has 2 electrons.
- So, 1 mole of He has 2*N(N is Avogadro's no.) electrons.
- Then total -ve charge in 1 mole He gas is = 2 * N * charge of 1 electron
= 2 * (6.022 * 1023) * (1.6 * 10-19) = 1.92 * 105 C

Lavanya Menon answered |
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

The total charge on the body If there are n1 electrons and n2 protons will be |n1-n2|.
Because whichever of the two will be lower in number, will be neautralized by the other and the left electrons/ protons will be the reason for the charge on the body.

If the potential energy of the system is minimum, it will be stable equilibrium, i.e , d2U/dx2>0 and when potential energy is maximum then it will be unstable equilibrium, i.e, d2U/dx2<0.
As along y direction no electric field, potential energy is minimum and it will be stable equilibrium along y-axis.
Along x-axis potential energy is maximum due to all charges situated along x-axis.so it will be unstable equilibrium.

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

Aarya Khanna answered |
Electric flux density is a measure of the electric flux passing through a given area. It is defined as the amount of electric flux passing through a unit area perpendicular to the electric field. The SI unit of electric flux density is coulombs per square meter (C/m²).
Factors affecting electric flux density:
Charge:
Electric flux density is directly proportional to the amount of charge present in a given area. The higher the charge density, the higher the electric flux density.
Area:
Electric flux density is inversely proportional to the area of the surface through which the flux passes. The smaller the area, the higher the electric flux density.
Distance:
Electric flux density is inversely proportional to the distance of the charge from the surface through which the flux passes. The closer the charge, the higher the electric flux density.
Dielectric constant:
Electric flux density is affected by the dielectric constant of the material through which the flux passes. The higher the dielectric constant, the higher the electric flux density.
Conclusion:
From the above explanation, it is clear that electric flux density is a function of charge.

Which of the following molecule has permanent dipole moment?
a)
HCl
b)
CO2
c)
CH4
d)
BF3
|
Manoj Chauhan answered |
Explanation:
A permanent dipole moment is created when there is an electronegativity difference between two non-identical atoms, resulting in an uneven distribution of charge. The molecule acquires a positive and negative end, creating a dipole moment.
HCl molecule has a permanent dipole moment because of the difference in electronegativity between H and Cl atoms. Chlorine has a higher electronegativity than hydrogen. Therefore, the electrons in the covalent bond are drawn closer to the chlorine atom, resulting in a partial negative charge on the chlorine atom and a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atom. Thus, HCl has a dipole moment.
On the other hand, CO2, CH4, and BF3 do not have a permanent dipole moment because they are symmetrical molecules where the electronegativity of the atoms is the same. In CO2, the electronegativity of the carbon and oxygen atoms is the same, so the molecule has no dipole moment. In CH4, the four hydrogen atoms are arranged symmetrically around the carbon atom, resulting in no net dipole moment. Similarly, in BF3, the three fluorine atoms are arranged symmetrically around the boron atom, resulting in no net dipole moment.
Therefore, the correct option is A, HCl, which has a permanent dipole moment due to the difference in electronegativity between H and Cl atoms.

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.

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.

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.

The force between two charges q1 and q2 at a distance r is given by Coulomb's law:
F = k*q1*q2/r^2
where k is Coulomb's constant (9*10^9 N*m^2/C^2).
Given that F = 10 N, q1 = 3 μC = 3*10^-6 C, and q2 = 4 μC = 4*10^-6 C, we can solve for r^2:
10 = 9*10^9 * 3*10^-6 * 4*10^-6 / r^2
r^2 = 9*10^9 * 3*10^-6 * 4*10^-6 / 10
r^2 = 1.08*10^-2 m^2
Now, if each charge is given an additional -6 μC, the new charges are q1' = -3 μC = -3*10^-6 C and q2' = -2 μC = -2*10^-6 C. The new force F' is:
F' = k*q1'*q2'/r^2
F' = 9*10^9 * -3*10^-6 * -2*10^-6 / 1.08*10^-2
F' = 5 N
So, the new force is 5N. Hence, option
F = k*q1*q2/r^2
where k is Coulomb's constant (9*10^9 N*m^2/C^2).
Given that F = 10 N, q1 = 3 μC = 3*10^-6 C, and q2 = 4 μC = 4*10^-6 C, we can solve for r^2:
10 = 9*10^9 * 3*10^-6 * 4*10^-6 / r^2
r^2 = 9*10^9 * 3*10^-6 * 4*10^-6 / 10
r^2 = 1.08*10^-2 m^2
Now, if each charge is given an additional -6 μC, the new charges are q1' = -3 μC = -3*10^-6 C and q2' = -2 μC = -2*10^-6 C. The new force F' is:
F' = k*q1'*q2'/r^2
F' = 9*10^9 * -3*10^-6 * -2*10^-6 / 1.08*10^-2
F' = 5 N
So, the new force is 5N. Hence, option

Electric field lines when cross each other form two directions of electric field lines which is by drawing tangents to the curves..but this is not possible as this does not follow the uniqueness of electric field

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.

The electric field of a sphere of uniform charge density and total charge charge Q can be obtained by applying Gauss' law. Considering a Gaussian surface in the form of a sphere at radius r > R, the electric field has the same magnitude at every point of the surface and is directed outward.

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.

According to the work energy theorem we have
We+Wg=(1/2)mv2
We have work done by electrostatic force as
We=qElsinθ
and work done by the gravitational force as
Wg=mg(l−lcosθ)
Thus we get
qElsinθ+mg(l−lcosθ)=(1/2)mv2
Thus we get
mgsinθ+mgl−mglcosθ=(1/2)mv2
as θ=45o, we get
mgl=(1/2)mv2
also as v=ωl
we get
ω=√2g/l

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.

Lavanya Menon answered |
Electric field due to a charged ring in given by: -
at point p
∣E∣= KQx /(R2+x2)3/2 Q =λ(2πr)
at a large distance, x≫R, so :- R2+x2≃x2
⇒∣E∣= K&x/(x2)3/2=KQ/x2=Eαx−2
so at a large distance, the ring behaves as a point particle.

Gaurav Kumar answered |
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.
