Three concentric metallic spherical shells $A, B,$ and $C$ of radii $a, b,$ and $c$ $(a < b < c)$ have surface charge densities $-\sigma, +\sigma,$ and $-\sigma$ respectively. The potential of shell $A$ is:

  • A
    $(\sigma/\varepsilon_0) [a - b + c]$
  • B
    $(\sigma/\varepsilon_0) [a + b - c]$
  • C
    $(\sigma/\varepsilon_0) [b - a - c]$
  • D
    None of these

Particles $A$ and $B$ have charges $+q$ and $+4q$ respectively. Both have the same mass $m$. If they are released from rest and accelerated through the same potential difference $V$,the ratio of their velocities $v_A/v_B$ is:

$A$ ball of mass $1\, g$ and charge $10^{-8}\, C$ moves from a point $A$,where the potential is $600\, V$,to a point $B$,where the potential is $0\, V$. The velocity of the ball at point $B$ is $20\, cm/s$. The velocity of the ball at point $A$ will be:

The electric charges $+2q$, $+2q$, $-2q$ and $-2q$ are placed at the corners of a square of side $2L$ as shown in the figure. The electric potential at point $A$, midway between the two charges $+2q$ and $+2q$, is $(\epsilon_0 = \text{permittivity of free space})$

Calculate the potential energy of a point charge $-q$ placed along the axis due to a charge $+Q$ uniformly distributed along a ring of radius $R$. Sketch the potential energy $(P.E.)$ as a function of axial distance $z$ from the centre of the ring. Looking at the graph,can you determine what would happen if $-q$ is displaced slightly from the centre of the ring along the axis?
