Charges $$Q, 2Q$$ and $$4Q$$ are uniformly distributed in three dielectric solid spheres 1, 2 and 3 of radii $$\frac{R}{2},$$ $$R$$ and $$2R$$ respectively, as shown in figure. If magnitude of the electric fields at point $$P$$ at a distance $$R$$ from the centre of sphere 1, 2 and 3 are $${E_1},{E_2}$$ and $${E_3}$$ respectively, the
$$\eqalign{
& {E_1} = \frac{1}{{4\pi { \in _0}}} \cdot \frac{Q}{{{R^2}}}; \cr
& {E_2} = \frac{1}{{4\pi { \in _0}}} \cdot \frac{{2Q}}{{{R^2}}};{E_3} = \frac{1}{{4\pi { \in _0}}} \cdot \frac{{\frac{Q}{2}}}{{{R^2}}} \cr} $$
Clearly $${E_2} > {E_1} > {E_3}$$
where $${\frac{Q}{2}}$$ is the charge enclosed in a sphere of radius $$R$$ concentric with the given sphere.
$$\left[ {\frac{{4Q}}{{\frac{4}{3}\pi {{\left( {2R} \right)}^3}}} = \frac{{Q'}}{{\frac{4}{3}\pi {R^3}}}} \right]$$

The region between two concentric spheres of radii $$'a'$$ and $$'b',$$ respectively (see figure), have volume charge density $$r = \frac{A}{r},$$ where $$A$$ is a constant and $$r$$ is the distance from the centre. At the centre of the spheres is a point charge $$Q.$$ The value of $$A$$ such that the electric field in the region between the spheres will be constant, is :
A
$$\frac{{2Q}}{{p\left( {{a^2} - {b^2}} \right)}}$$
B
$$\frac{{2Q}}{{p{a^2}}}$$
C
$$\frac{Q}{{2p{a^2}}}$$
D
$$\frac{Q}{{2p\left( {{b^2} - {a^2}} \right)}}$$
According to Gauss’s law, the electric flux through a closed surface is equal to $$\frac{1}{{{\varepsilon _0}}}$$ times the net charge enclosed by the surface.
Since, $$q$$ is the charge enclosed by the surface, then electric flux, $$\phi = \frac{q}{{{\varepsilon _0}}}$$
If charge $$q$$ is placed at a corner of cube, it will be divided into 8 such cubes. Therefore, electric flux through the cube is $$\phi ' = \frac{1}{8}\left( {\frac{q}{{{\varepsilon _0}}}} \right)$$

Two large vertical and parallel metal plates having a separation of $$1cm$$ are connected to a $$DC$$ voltage source of potential difference $$X.$$ A proton is released at rest midway between the two plates. It is found to move at $${45^ \circ }$$ to the vertical JUST after release. Then $$X$$ is nearly
The two forces acting on the proton just after the release are shown in the figure. In this situation
$$\eqalign{
& qE = mg\,\,\,\,\,\,\left[ {\therefore \theta = {{45}^ \circ }} \right] \cr
& \therefore q\left( {\frac{V}{d}} \right) = mg \cr} $$
$$\therefore V = \frac{{mgd}}{q} = \frac{{1.67 \times {{10}^{ - 27}} \times 10 \times {{10}^{ - 2}}}}{{1.6 \times {{10}^{ - 19}}}} = {10^{ - 9}}V$$

On decreasing the distance between the two charges of a dipole which is perpendicular to electric field and decreasing the angle between the dipole and electric field, the torque on the dipole
Since $$\tau = pE\sin \theta $$ on decreasing the distance between the two charges, and on decreasing angle $$\theta $$ between the dipole and electric field, $$\sin \theta $$ decreases therefore torque decreases.

A long cylindrical shell carries positive surface charge $$\sigma $$ in the upper half and negative surface charge - $$\sigma $$ in the lower half. The electric field lines around the cylinder will look like figure given in : (figures are schematic and not drawn to scale)
Field lines originate perpendicular from positive charge and terminate perpendicular at negative charge. Further this system can be treated as an electric dipole.

Consider a system of three charges $$\frac{q}{3},\frac{q}{3}$$ and $$ - \frac{{2q}}{3}$$ placed at points $$A, B$$ and $$C,$$ respectively, as shown in the figure. Take $$O$$ to be the centre of the circle of radius $$R$$ and angle $$CAB = {60^ \circ }$$
A
The electric field at point $$O$$ is $$\frac{q}{{8\pi {\varepsilon _0}{R^2}}}$$ directed along the negative $$x$$-axis
B
The potential energy of the system is zero
C
The magnitude of the force between the charges at $$C$$ and $$B$$ is $$\frac{q^2}{{54\pi {\varepsilon _0}{R^2}}}$$
D
The potential at point $$O$$ is $$\frac{q}{{12\pi {\varepsilon _0}R}}$$
Answer :
The magnitude of the force between the charges at $$C$$ and $$B$$ is $$\frac{q^2}{{54\pi {\varepsilon _0}{R^2}}}$$
The electric field due to $$A$$ and $$B$$ at $$O$$ are equal and opposite producing a resultant which is zero. The electric field at $$O$$ due to $$C$$ is
$$E = \frac{1}{{4\pi { \in _0}}}\frac{{\frac{{2q}}{3}}}{{{R^2}}} = \frac{q}{{6\pi { \in _0}{R^2}}}.$$
$$\therefore $$ Option [A] is not correct. The electric potential at $$O$$ is
$${V_O} = K\left[ {\frac{{\frac{{ + q}}{3}}}{R}} \right] + K\left[ {\frac{{\frac{{ + q}}{3}}}{R}} \right] + K\left[ {\frac{{\frac{{ - 2q}}{3}}}{R}} \right] = 0$$
$$\therefore $$ Option [D] is wrong
In $$\Delta ABC\frac{{AC}}{{AB}} = \sin {30^ \circ } \Rightarrow AC = \frac{{AB}}{2} = R$$
Also $$\frac{{BC}}{{AB}} = \sin {60^ \circ } \Rightarrow BC = \frac{{\sqrt 3 AB}}{2} = \sqrt 3 R$$
Potential energy of the system
$$\eqalign{
& K\left[ {\frac{{\left( {\frac{q}{3}} \right)\left( {\frac{2}{3}} \right)}}{{2R}}} \right] + K\left[ {\frac{{\left( {\frac{q}{3}} \right)\left( {\frac{{ - 2q}}{3}} \right)}}{R}} \right] + K\left[ {\frac{{\left( {\frac{q}{3}} \right)\left( {\frac{{ - 2q}}{3}} \right)}}{{\sqrt 3 R}}} \right] \cr
& = \frac{{k{q^2}}}{{9R}}\left[ {\frac{1}{2} - 2 - \frac{2}{{\sqrt 3 }}} \right] \ne 0 \cr} $$
$$\therefore $$ Option [B] is wrong
Magnitude of force between $$B$$ and $$C$$ is
$$F = \frac{1}{{4\pi { \in _0}}}\frac{{\left( {\frac{{2q}}{3}} \right)\left( {\frac{q}{3}} \right)}}{{{{(\sqrt 3 R)}^2}}} = \frac{{{q^2}}}{{54\pi { \in _0}{R^2}}}$$

A thin glassrod is bent into a semicircle of radius $$r.$$ A charge $$+Q$$ is uniformly distributed along the upper half, and a charge $$-Q$$ is uniformly distributed along the lower half, as shown in fig. The electric field $$E$$ at $$P,$$ the centre of the semicircle, is
A
$$\frac{Q}{{{\pi ^2}{\varepsilon _0}{r^2}}}$$
B
$$\frac{{2Q}}{{{\pi ^2}{\varepsilon _0}{r^2}}}$$
C
$$\frac{{4Q}}{{{\pi ^2}{\varepsilon _0}{r^2}}}$$
Take $$PO$$ as the $$x$$-axis and $$PA$$ as the $$y$$-axis. Consider two elements $$EF$$ and $$E'F'$$ of width $$d\theta $$ at angular distance $$\theta $$ above and below $$PO,$$ respectively. The magnitude of the fields at $$P$$ due to either element is
$$dE = \frac{1}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}}}\frac{{\frac{{rd\theta \times Q}}{{\left( {\frac{{\pi r}}{2}} \right)}}}}{{{r^2}}} = \frac{Q}{{2{\pi ^2}{\varepsilon _0}{r^2}}}d\theta $$
Resolving the fields, we find that the components along $$PO$$ sum up to zero, and hence the resultant field is along $$PB.$$ Therefore, field at $$P$$ due to pair of elements is $$2d\,E\sin \theta $$
$$\eqalign{
& E = \int_0^{\frac{\pi }{2}} {2d\,E\sin \theta } \cr
& = 2\int_0^{\frac{\pi }{2}} {\frac{Q}{{2\pi {\varepsilon _0}{r^2}}}\sin \theta d\theta } = \frac{Q}{{{\pi ^2}{\varepsilon _0}{r^2}}} \cr} $$

Point charge $$q$$ moves from point $$P$$ to point $$S$$ along the path $$PQRS$$ (as shown in fig.) in a uniform electric field $$E$$ pointing co-parallel to the positive direction of $$X$$-axis.
The coordinates of the points $$P,Q,R$$ and $$S$$ are $$\left( {a,b,0} \right),\left( {2a,0,0} \right),\left( {a, - b,0} \right)$$ and $$\left( {0,0,0} \right)$$ respectively.
The workdone by the field in the above case is given by the expression
A
$$qEA$$
B
$$-qEA$$
C
$$qEA\sqrt 2 $$
D
$$qE\sqrt {\left[ {{{\left( {2a} \right)}^2} + {b^2}} \right]} $$
According to Gauss’s law total electric flux through a closed surface is $$\frac{1}{{{\varepsilon _0}}}$$ times the total charge inside that surface.
Electric flux, $${\phi _E} = \frac{q}{{{\varepsilon _0}}}$$
Charge on $$\alpha $$-particle$$ = 2e$$
$$\therefore {\phi _E} = \frac{{2e}}{{{\varepsilon _0}}}$$
