Test: Electric Charges & Fields - Question 1

When a negatively charged conductor is connected to earth,

Detailed Solution for Test: Electric Charges & Fields - Question 1

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.

Test: Electric Charges & Fields - Question 2

Detailed Solution for Test: Electric Charges & Fields - Question 2

Test: Electric Charges & Fields - Question 3

A point charge causes an electric flux of −1.0×103Nm2/C to pass through a spherical Gaussian surface of 10.0 cm radius centred on the charge.
(a) If the radius of the Gaussian surface were doubled, how much flux would pass through the surface?
(b) What is the value of the point charge? 

Detailed Solution for Test: Electric Charges & Fields - Question 3

Electric flux, Φ = −1.0 × 103 N m2/C

Radius of the Gaussian surface,

r = 10.0 cm

Electric flux piercing out through a surface depends on the net charge enclosed inside a body. It does not depend on the size of the body. If the radius of the Gaussian surface is doubled, then the flux passing through the surface remains the same i.e., −103 N m2/C.

Electric flux is given by the relation,

qϕ=q∈0

Where,

q = Net charge enclosed by the spherical surface

0 = Permittivity of free space = 8.854 × 10−12 N−1 Cm−2

∴ qq=ϕ∈0

= −1.0 × 103 × 8.854 × 10−12

= −8.854 × 10−9 C

= −8.854 nC

Therefore, the value of the point charge is −8.854 nC.

As at a corner, 8 cubes can be placed symmetrically, flux linked with each cube (due to a charge Q at the corner)
will be 

Now for the faces passing through the edge A, electric field E at a face will be parallel to area of face and so flux for these three faces will be zero. Now as the cube has six faces and flux linked with three faces (through A) is zero, so flux linked with remaining three faces will be 
Hence, electric flux passed through all the six faces of the cube is
