$A$ unit positive point charge of mass $m$ is projected with a velocity $V$ inside a tunnel as shown. The tunnel is made inside a uniformly charged non-conducting sphere of radius $R$ and volume charge density $\rho$. The minimum velocity with which the point charge should be projected such that it can reach the opposite end of the tunnel is equal to

  • A
    $[\rho R^2 / 4m\varepsilon_0]^{1/2}$
  • B
    $[\rho R^2 / 24m\varepsilon_0]^{1/2}$
  • C
    $[\rho R^2 / 6m\varepsilon_0]^{1/2}$
  • D
    zero because the initial and the final points are at the same potential.

In free space,a particle $A$ of charge $1\,\mu C$ is held fixed at a point $P.$ Another particle $B$ of the same charge and mass $4\,\mu g$ is kept at a distance of $1\,mm$ from $P$. If $B$ is released,then its velocity at a distance of $9\,mm$ from $P$ is [ Take $\frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9\,N m^2 C^{-2}$ ]

Two charged particles,each of mass $3 \ g$ and charge $0.2 \ \mu C$,stay in (vacuum) equilibrium on a horizontal surface with a separation of $20 \ cm$. The coefficient of friction is $\left[\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0}=9 \times 10^9 \ Nm^2 C^{-2}\right]$ and $\left(g=10 \ ms^{-2}\right)$.

Consider a gravity-free container as shown. The system is initially at rest and the electric potential in the region is $V = (y^3 + 2) \text{ J/C}$. A ball of charge $q = -0.5 \text{ C}$ and mass $m = 2 \text{ kg}$ is released from rest from the base $(y=0)$. It starts to move up due to the electric field and collides with the shaded top face $(y=2 \text{ m})$ as shown. If its speed just after the collision is $1.5 \text{ m/s}$ and the time for which the ball is in contact with the shaded face is $0.1 \text{ s}$, find the external force required to hold the container fixed in its position during the collision, assuming the ball exerts a constant force on the wall during the entire span of the collision.

$A$ 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 the figure given in:

Six charges,three positive and three negative of equal magnitude,are to be placed at the vertices of a regular hexagon such that the electric field at $O$ is double the electric field when only one positive charge of the same magnitude is placed at $R$. Which of the following arrangements of charges is possible for $P, Q, R, S, T,$ and $U$ respectively?
