A conducting sphere of radius r has a charge . Then .A. the charge is uniformly distributed over its surface, if there is no external electric fieldB. the distribution of charge over its surface will be nonuniform if an external electric field exists in the space.C. the potential at every point of the sphere must be the sameD. the electric field strength inside the sphere will be equal to zero only when no external electric field exists. |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - A::B::C a.,b.,c. If there is no external electric field, then the charge given to a conducting sphere gets uniformly distributed over its surface. Therefore, option (a) is correct. If an external electric field exists, then the charge gets distributed over the surface of the sphere in such a way that the electric field inside the sphere can become equal to zero. Hence. distribution of the charge on the surface of sphere will be non-uniform. Therefore, option (b) is correct. Obviously, option (d) is wrong. Since electric field inside the conducting sphere is equal to zero. potential difference between two points in the sphere is equal to zero. It means , the potential is same at every point of the sphere. Therefore, option (c) is correct. |

When a positively charged sphere is brought near a metallic sphere, it is observed that a force of attraction exists between the two. It means thatA. the metallic sphere may be electrically neutralB. the metallic sphere is necessarily negatively chargedC. nothing can be said about the charge of the metallic sphere.D. the metallic sphere may be negatively charged |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - A::D a.,d. Suppose a positively charged sphere is brought near an unchanged metallic sphere, then on nearer surface of the uncharged sphere, negative charge is induced and on farther will obsrved between these two shperes. Therefore, if a force of attraction is observed between a positively charged sphere and a metallic sphere, it cannot be conclued that the metallic sphere is necessarily negatively charged. Therefore, option (b) is wrong and option (a) and (d) are correct. |

The electric potetnial in a region along x-axis varies with `x` according to the releation `V(x) = 4 xx 5x^(2)`. Then the incorrect statement isA. potential difference between the points x = 1 and x = -2 is 15 V.B. the force experienced by the above charge will be towards the +x-axis.C. a uniform electric field exists in this region along the +x-axis.D. force experienced by a 1 C charge at x = -1 will be 10 N. |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - A::C::D a.,c.,d. `V(x)=4+5x^(2)` `V(x=1)=9V` And `V(x=-2)=24V` Hence, `DeltaV=15V` `E=-(DeltaV//Deltax)=-10x` `therefore E(atx=-1m)=10NC^(-1)` So, `F=qE=+10N` (along positive `x-` axis). |

A converging lens of focal length f is placed in front of a fixed object, at a distance f from it. The lens is then moved away from the object with a constant velocity. The velocity of the image will (a) be constant (b) always be directed towards the object (c) pass through a maximum (d) be zero when the distance of the lens from the object is 2f |
|
Answer» Correct Answer is: (d) be zero when the distance of the lens from the object is 2f Let u = object distance, v = image distance. x = |u| + v = the distance of the image from the fixed object. The velocity of the image = x . x becomes minimum for |u| = v = 2f Hence, x = 0. |
