Vedclass · Answer

(A) Let the radii of the spheres be $R_1 = 3 \ cm = 3 	imes 10^{-2} \ m$ and $R_2 = 1 \ cm = 1 	imes 10^{-2} \ m$. The potential $V$ of each sphere is $10 \ V$.The charge $Q$ on a sphere of radius $R$ at potential $V$ is given by $V = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} \frac{Q}{R}$,so $Q = 4\pi\epsilon_0 R V$.For the first sphere: $Q_1 = \frac{R_1 V}{k} = \frac{3 	imes 10^{-2} 	imes 10}{9 	imes 10^9} = \frac{1}{3} 	imes 10^{-10} \ C$.For the second sphere: $Q_2 = \frac{R_2 V}{k} = \frac{1 	imes 10^{-2} 	imes 10}{9 	imes 10^9} = \frac{1}{9} 	imes 10^{-10} \ C$.The distance between the centers is $d = 10 \ cm = 0.1 \ m$.The electrostatic force $F$ is given by Coulomb's Law: $F = k \frac{Q_1 Q_2}{d^2}$.$F = (9 	imes 10^9) 	imes \frac{(\frac{1}{3} 	imes 10^{-10}) 	imes (\frac{1}{9} 	imes 10^{-10})}{(0.1)^2} = (9 	imes 10^9) 	imes \frac{\frac{1}{27} 	imes 10^{-20}}{10^{-2}} = \frac{9}{27} 	imes 10^9 	imes 10^{-18} = \frac{1}{3} 	imes 10^{-9} \ N$.

Two spheres of radii $3 \ cm$ and $1 \ cm$ are placed at a distance of $10 \ cm$ from each other in a vacuum. If each sphere is charged to a potential of $10 \ V$,the force of repulsion between them is:

Three equal charges are placed on the three corners of a square as shown below. If the magnitude of force between $q_1$ and $q_2$ is $F_{12}$ and that between $q_1$ and $q_3$ is $F_{13}$,then the ratio of $F_{13}$ to $F_{12}$ is

The ratio of the forces between two small spheres with constant charge $(a)$ in air and $(b)$ in a medium of dielectric constant $K$ is:

$A$ charge $Q$ is distributed over a line of length $L$. Another point charge $q$ is placed at a distance $r$ from the centre of the line distribution. Then the force experienced by $q$ is

Two point charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ are '$l$' distance apart. If one of the charges is doubled and the distance between them is halved, the magnitude of the force becomes $n$ times, where $n$ is:
