Four charges are placed at the circumference of a dial clock as shown in figure. If the clock has only hour hand, then the resultant force on a charge $q_0$ placed at the centre, points in the direction which shows the time as
$1:30$
$7:30$
$4:30$
$10:30$
Two spherical conductors $A$ and $B$ of radii $1\, mm$ and $2\, mm$ are separated by a distance of $5\, cm$ and are uniformly charged. If the spheres are connected by a conducting wire then in equilibrium condition, the ratio of the magnitude of the electric fields at the surfaces of spheres $A$ and $B$ is-
In steady state heat conduction, the equations that determine the heat current $j ( r )$ [heat flowing per unit time per unit area] and temperature $T( r )$ in space are exactly the same as those governing the electric field $E ( r )$ and electrostatic potential $V( r )$ with the equivalence given in the table below.
Heat flow | Electrostatics |
$T( r )$ | $V( r )$ |
$j ( r )$ | $E ( r )$ |
We exploit this equivalence to predict the rate $Q$ of total heat flowing by conduction from the surfaces of spheres of varying radii, all maintained at the same temperature. If $\dot{Q} \propto R^{n}$, where $R$ is the radius, then the value of $n$ is
A solid spherical conducting shell has inner radius a and outer radius $2a$. At the center of the shell a point charge $+Q$ is located . What must the charge of the shell be in order for the charge density on the inner and outer surfaces of the shell to be exactly equal?
The electric potential $V$ at any point $(x,y,z)$ in space is given by equation $V = 4x^2\,volt$ where $x, y$ and $z$ are all in metre. The electric field at the point $(1\,m, 0, 2\,m)$ in $V/m$ is
Five indentical capacitor plates, each of area $A,$ are arranged such that adjacent plates are at distance $d$ apart. The plates are connected to a source of $emf$ $V$ as shown in fig. Then the charges $1$ and $4$ are, respectively :-
