Consider an electric field $$\vec E = {E_0}\hat x$$ where $${E_0}$$ is a constant. The flux through the shaded area (as shown in the figure) due to this field is
Given $$\vec E = {E_0}\hat x$$
This shows that the electric field acts along $$ + x$$ direction and is a constant. The area vector makes an angle of 45° with the electric field. Therefore the electric flux through the shaded portion whose area is
$$a \times \sqrt 2 a = \sqrt 2 {a^2}\,{\text{is}}\,\phi = \vec E.\vec A = EA\cos \theta = {E_0}\left( {\sqrt 2 {a^2}} \right)\cos {45^ \circ } = {E_0}\left( {\sqrt 2 {a^2}} \right) \times \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }} = {E_0}{a^2}$$

Consider a thin spherical shell of radius $$R$$ with centre at the origin, carrying uniform positive surface charge density. The variation of the magnitude of the electric field $$\left| {\vec E\left( r \right)} \right|$$ and the electric potential $$V\left( r \right)$$ with the distance $$r$$ from the centre, is best represented by which graph?
For a thin uniformly positive charged spherical shell
(i) Inside the shell at any point
$$E = 0\,{\text{and}}\,V = \frac{1}{{4\pi { \in _0}}}\frac{q}{R} = constt.$$
where $$q =$$ charge on sphere
$$R =$$ Radius of sphere
(ii) Outside the shell at any point at any distance $$r$$ from the centre $$E \propto \frac{1}{{{r^2}}}\,{\text{and}}\,V \propto \frac{1}{r}$$

The electric field strength in air at $$NTP$$ is $$3 \times {10^6}\,V/m.$$ The maximum charge that can be given to a spherical conductor of radius $$3\,m$$ is
Total flux through any enclosed surface is given by, $${\phi _{{\text{net}}}} = \frac{{{\text{net charge enclosed}}}}{{{\varepsilon _0}}}$$
Hence, we can say that the electric flux depends only on net enclosed charge by surface.
75.
Intensity of an electric field $$\left( E \right)$$ depends on distance $$r$$ due to a dipole, is related as
Field intensity on axial line of electric dipole is given by
$$E = \frac{1}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}}} \cdot \frac{{2p}}{{{r^3}}}\,......\left( {\text{i}} \right)$$
and electric field at equatorial position is given by
$$E = \frac{1}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}}} \times \frac{p}{{{r^3}}}\,......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)$$
where, $$p$$ is electric dipole moment.
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
$$E \propto \frac{1}{{{r^3}}}$$
76.
Four charges equal to $$ - Q$$ are placed at the four corners of a square and a charge $$q$$ is at its centre. If the system is in equilibrium the value of $$q$$ is
A
$$ - \frac{Q}{2}\left( {1 + 2\sqrt 2 } \right)$$
B
$$\frac{Q}{4}\left( {1 + 2\sqrt 2 } \right)$$
C
$$ - \frac{Q}{4}\left( {1 + 2\sqrt 2 } \right)$$
Net field at $$A$$ should be zero
$$\eqalign{
& \sqrt 2 {E_1} + {E_2} = {E_3} \cr
& \therefore \frac{{kQ \times \sqrt 2 }}{{{a^2}}} + \frac{{kQ}}{{{{\left( {\sqrt 2 a} \right)}^2}}} = \frac{{kq}}{{{{\left( {\frac{a}{{\sqrt 2 }}} \right)}^2}}} \cr} $$
$$ \Rightarrow \frac{{Q\sqrt 2 }}{1} + \frac{Q}{2} = 2q \Rightarrow q = \frac{Q}{4}\left( {2\sqrt 2 + 1} \right)$$

A disc of radius $$\frac{a}{4}$$ having a uniformly distributed charge $$6C$$ is placed in the $$x-y$$ plane with its centre at $$\left( { - \frac{a}{2},0,0} \right).$$ A rod of length $$a$$ carrying a uniformly distributed cherge $$8C$$ is placed on the $$x$$-axis from $$x = \frac{a}{4}$$ to $$x = \frac{{5a}}{4}.$$ Two point charges $$-7C$$ and $$3C$$ are placed at $$\left( {\frac{a}{4}, - \frac{a}{4},0} \right)$$ and $$\left( { - \frac{{3a}}{4},\frac{{3a}}{4},0} \right),$$ respectively. Consider a cubical surface formed by six surfaces $$x = \pm \frac{a}{2},y = \pm \frac{a}{2},z = \pm \frac{a}{2}.$$ The electric flux through this cubical surface is
From the figure it is clear that the charge enclosed in the cubical surface is $$3C + 2C - 7C = - 2C.$$ Therefore the electric flux through the cube is
$$\phi = \frac{{{q_{{\text{in}}}}}}{{{\varepsilon _0}}} = \frac{{ - 2C}}{{{\varepsilon _0}}}$$
78.
For a uniformly charged ring of radius $$R,$$ the electric field on its axis has the largest magnitude at a distance $$h$$ from its centre. Then value of $$h$$ is:
Electric field on the axis of a ring of radius $$R$$ at a distance $$h$$ from the centre,
$$E = \frac{{kQh}}{{{{\left( {{h^2} + {R^2}} \right)}^{\frac{3}{2}}}}}$$
Condition for maximum electric field
We have $$\frac{{dE}}{{dh}} = 0$$
$$ \Rightarrow \frac{d}{{dh}}\left[ {\frac{{kQh}}{{{{\left( {{R^2} + {h^2}} \right)}^{\frac{3}{2}}}}}} \right] = 0$$
On solving we get, $$h = \frac{R}{{\sqrt 2 }}$$
79.
$$ABC$$ is an equilateral triangle. Charges $$+q$$ are placed at each corner as shown in fig. The electric intensity at centre $$O$$ will be
A
$$\frac{1}{{4\pi { \in _0}}}\frac{q}{r}$$
B
$$\frac{1}{{4\pi { \in _0}}}\frac{q}{{{r^2}}}$$
C
$$\frac{1}{{4\pi { \in _0}}}\frac{{3q}}{{{r^2}}}$$
Unit positive charge at $$O$$ will be repelled equally by three charges at the three corners of triangle. By symmetry, resultant $${\vec E}$$ at $$O$$ would be zero.
