QUESTION: 1

Figure shows a solid hemisphere with a charge of 5nC distributed uniformly throughout its volume. The hemisphere lies on a plane and point P is located on the plane, along a radial line from the centre of curvature at distance 15cm. The electric potential at point P (in volts) due to the hemisphere, is___.

Solution:

By argument of symmetry, it will be half of the potential produced by the full sphere

∵ – Charge on hemisphere = Q, so charge on sphere = 2Q

The correct answer is: 300

QUESTION: 2

A simple pendulum with a bob of mass m = 1kg, charge q = 5μC and string length l = 1m is given a horizontal velocity u in a uniform electric field E = 2 × 10⁶ V/m at its bottom most point A, as shown in figure. It is given that the speed u is such that the particle leaves the circle at point C. Find the speed u.
(Take g = 10m/s²)

Solution:

From work-energy theorem,

Substituting the values, we get

Further, at C tension in the string is zero

or v² = 3.66 ......(ii)
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get

u = 6m/s
The correct answer is: 6

QUESTION: 3

A position charge +Q is fixed at a point A. Another positively charged. particle of mass m and charge +q is projected from a point B with velocity u as shown in the figure. The point B is large distance from A and at distance d from the line AC. The initial velocity is parallel to the line AC. The point C is at very large distance from A. Find the minimum distance (in meter) of +q from +Q during the motion.

Take

Solution:

The path of the particle will be as shown in the figure. At the point of minimum distance (D) the velocity of the particle will be to its position vector w.r.t +Q.

∵ Torque on q about Q is zero hence angular momentum about Q will be conserved
⇒ mvr_min = mud ........(2)
by (2) in (1)

∵ distance cannot be negative
∴
The correct answer is: 1

QUESTION: 4

The electric potential varies in space according to the relation V = 3x + 4y. A particle of mass 10kg starts from rest from point (2,3.2)m under the influence of this field. Find the velocity of the particle in units of 10^–3m/s, when it crosses the x-axis. The charge on the particle is 1μC. Assume V(x,y) are in SI units.

Solution:

When particle crosses x-axis, y = 0

Initial y-coordinate was 3.2 m and

At this instant x-coordinate will be,
