Test: Electrostatics - 2 - Question 1

Three positive charges of equal value q are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle. The resulting lines of force should be sketched as in

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrostatics - 2 - Question 1

Carefully observe each property of electric field lines in the above options.

Test: Electrostatics - 2 - Question 2

What will be the value of a charge q, such that when it is placed at the centre of two equal and like charges Q, the three charges are in equilibrium.

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrostatics - 2 - Question 2

If we see all the forces acting upon the charge Q due to other charge Q at distance r and other charge q at distance r/2, we get
kQQ/r2 + kQ(q)/(r/2)2
This results 
Q2 / r2  = -4Qq / r2
Thus we get q = -Q/4

Test: Electrostatics - 2 - Question 3

A charged particle having some mass is resting in equilibrium at a height H above the centre of a uniformly charged non-conducting horizontal ring of radius R. The force of gravity acts downwards. The equilibrium of the particle will be stable -

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrostatics - 2 - Question 3

electric field due to non-conducting ring along its axis is given by, 
E=kqz/(Z2+r2)3/2
where z is the separation between point of observation to the centre of the ring, q is the charge on the ring and r is the radius of the ring.
We know, electric field will be maximum only when z = R/√2, meaning at this point the value of force must be maximum. and if we increase the value of z from R/√2 it will decrease and if we decrease the value of z from R/√2 , it will increase.
condition of stable equilibrium,
A small vertical displacement upwards should cause the resultant force on the particle to be downwards, to return it or a small vertical displacement downward should cause the resultant force on the particle to be downward.
hence, at z > R/√2 or, h > R/√2 system will be in stable equilibrium.
 

Test: Electrostatics - 2 - Question 4

In space of horizontal EF(E = (mg)/q) exist as shown in figure and a mass m attached at the end of a light rod. If mass m is released from the position shown in figure find the angular velocity of the rod when it passes through the bottom most position.

                       

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrostatics - 2 - Question 4

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

Select the correct alternative :

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrostatics - 2 - Question 7

A.Statement A is wrong.
B.m= m0​​/√(1− v2/c2) ​​
specific charge q/m=q/m0√(1​−(v2/C2))​​
so, as v increases the specific charge decreases
C. None of the fundamental particles that form the Standard Model have charge without mass. The Standard Model describes all energy and matter that makes up the universe, except gravitation. And gravitation does not have charge, it has mass.
D.Yes. Repulsion is observed only when two bodies have like charges that means the bodies must be charged. Therefore, repulsion is sure test for electrification than attraction.

Test: Electrostatics - 2 - Question 8

Two equal negative charges –q are fixed at the point (0, a) and (0,– a) on the y-axis. A charge +Q is released from rest at the point (2a, 0) on the x-axis. The charge Q will :

The net force is given as,
Fn​=2Fcosθ
=2×(1/4πε0)​( −qQ /a2+x2 ​)×[x/​(a2+x2)1/2]
Thus, the restoring force is not linear, So, the motion will not be simple harmonic motion but the motion will be oscillatory.

Test: Electrostatics - 2 - Question 10

A negative point charge placed at the point A is

                   

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrostatics - 2 - Question 10

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.
 

*Multiple options can be correct
Test: Electrostatics - 2 - Question 11

Two fixed charges 4Q (positive) and Q (negative) are located at A and B, the distance AB being 3 m.

                    

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrostatics - 2 - Question 11

(A) electric field due to positive charge is away from it and electric field due to negative charge is towards it so there cannot be a point on AB where electric field can be zero
(D) negative charge will experience a repulsion force due to −ve charge and attraction force due to +ve charge, so if pushed away from charges then a net attractive force and if pushed towards AB then a net repulsive force will be there so there will be oscillations.
 

*Multiple options can be correct

Test: Electrostatics - 2 - Question 16

 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 Test: Electrostatics - 2 - Question 16

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.

*Multiple options can be correct

Test: Electrostatics - 2 - Question 23

Four charges are placed each at a distance a from origin. The dipole moment of configuration is

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrostatics - 2 - Question 23

This question can be solved easily , if you have some knowledge about resolution of vectors.
all four charges are placed , each at a distance 'a ' from the origin.
it means distance between two charges = √{a² + a² } = √2a
We also know, dipole moment is the system of two equal magnitude but opposite nature charges . so, we have to divide the charges as shown in the figure for making dipoles .
Hence, there are three dipoles formed.
Let P = q(√2a)
then, P₁ = P , P₂ = P and P₃ = 2P {as shown in figure.}
now resolve the vectors P₁ ,P₂ and P₃ .
as shown in figure,
vertical components of P₁ and P₂ is cancelled .
and horizontal components of P₁ and P₂ is cancelled by horizontal component of P₃ .
and rest part of dipole = vertical component of P₃ = 2Psin45° j ['j' shows direction of net dipole moment]
hence, net dipole moment = 2q(√2a) × 1/√2 j
= 2qa j
