Detailed Solution for Physics: Topic-wise Test- 4 - Question 3

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.

Physics: Topic-wise Test- 4 - Question 7

 A particle of mass m and charge q is thrown in a region where uniform gravitational field and electric field are present. The path of particle

Detailed Solution for Physics: Topic-wise Test- 4 - Question 7

The acceleration due to gravity is insignificant compared with the acceleration caused by the electric field, so the gravitational field can be ignored. Hence, when a particle of mass m and charge q is thrown in a region where uniform gravitational field and electric field are present, before entering the electric field, the charge follows a straight line path (since, no net force due to any of the field). As soon as it enters the field, the charge begins to follow a parabolic path (since, constant force is always in the same direction). As soon as it leaves the field, the charge follows a straight line path  (since, no net force due to any of the field). The path of a particle may be straight line or may be parabola.

Physics: Topic-wise Test- 4 - Question 8

Let Cp be the equivalent capacitance of parallel
Cp=C1+C2
16= C1+C2……..(1)
Let Cs be the equivalent of capacitance in series
1/Cs=(1/C1) + (1/C2)
Or, Cs=C1C2/C1+C2
Or,3=C1C2/16
Or,C2C1=48
C2=48/C1……..(ii)
16=C1+48/C1
(C12-16C1+48)=0
(C1-4)(C1-12)=0
C1=4 ; C1=12
If,
C1=4
C2=12
If,
C2=4
C1=12
So, the answer is, Either 12μf or4μf

Physics: Topic-wise Test- 4 - Question 18

The value of electric potential throughout the volume of a conductor is

Detailed Solution for Physics: Topic-wise Test- 4 - Question 18

Since the electric field inside the conductor is zero and has no tangential component on its surface, therefore, no work is done in moving a test charge within the conductor or on its surface. It means the potential difference between any two points inside or on the surface is zero. Hence, electrostatic potential is constant throughout the volume of the charged conductor and has the same value on its surface as inside it.

Physics: Topic-wise Test- 4 - Question 19

How does the charge densities of conductors vary on an irregularly shaped conductor?

Detailed Solution for Physics: Topic-wise Test- 4 - Question 19

On an irregularly shaped conductor, the surface charge density is greatest at the locations where the radius of curvature of the surface is smallest i.e, charge density is inversely proportional to radius of curvature of surface. Since the radius of curvature is least at sharp portion and maximum at flat portion, so, charge density is high at sharp portions and less at flat portions.

Physics: Topic-wise Test- 4 - Question 26

 Under what condition current passing through the resistance R can be increased by short circuiting the battery of emf E2. The internal resistances of the two batteries are r1 and r2 respectively.

                      

Detailed Solution for Physics: Topic-wise Test- 4 - Question 26

The current through the circuit before the battery of emf E2​ is short circuited, is
i1​=(E1​+E2)/r1​+r2​+R​​             ...(i)
After short circuiting the battery of emf E2​, current through the resistance R would be

 A battery is of emf E is being charged from a charger such that positive terminal of the battery is connected to terminal A of charger and negative terminal of the battery is connected to terminal B of charger. The internal resistance of the battery is r.

Detailed Solution for Physics: Topic-wise Test- 4 - Question 29

A battery is of emf E is being charged from a charger and hence current inside the cell is from anode to cathode 
I=V−E/r​
V=E+Ir
Therefore, when a cell is being charged the potential difference across its terminals is greater than emf of a cell. Also in charging the positive terminal is connected to anode of the cell and negative terminal to cathode.
Here, positive terminal of the battery is connected to terminal A of charger and negative terminal of the battery is connected to terminal B of charger.
Hence, Potential difference across points A and B must be more than E, A must be at higher potential than B and In battery, current flows from positive terminal to the negative terminal
