The insulation property of air breaks down at $E = 3 \times {10^6}$ $volt\,/\,metre$. The maximum charge that can be given to a sphere of diameter $5\,m$ is approximately (in coulombs)
$2 \times {10^{ - 2}}$
$2 \times {10^{ - 3}}$
$2 \times {10^{ - 4}}$
$2 \times {10^{ - 5}}$
Select the correct statement : (Only force on a particle is due to electric field)
A thin disc of radius $b = 2a$ has a concentric hole of radius $'a'$ in it (see figure). It carries uniform surface charge $'\sigma '$ on it. If the electric field on its axis at height $'h'$ $(h << a)$ from its centre is given as $'Ch'$ then value of $'C'$ is
A ring of radius $R$ is charged uniformly with a charge $+\,Q$ . The electric field at a point on its axis at a distance $r$ from any point on the ring will be
A wire of length $L\, (=20\, cm)$, is bent into a semicircular arc. If the two equal halves of the arc were each to be uniformly charged with charges $ \pm Q\,,\,\left[ {\left| Q \right| = {{10}^3}{\varepsilon _0}} \right]$ Coulomb where $\varepsilon _0$ is the permittivity (in $SI\, units$) of free space] the net electric field at the centre $O$ of the semicircular arc would be
The electric field intensity at a point in vacuum is equal to
