The last three capacitors on the right, each of capacitance C = 9 F are in series an are equivalent to a capacitance C" given by or C' F. C' Since C is in parallel with C 1, the equivalent capacitance of the last part of the network is C" = C' + C 1 = + 6 = 9 F. Continuing this process of calculation towars the left, we notice that we are finally left with the combination whose equivalent capacitance is F. Hence the correct choice is (a). 1. The three capacitors can be rearrange as shown in Fig. The capacitance between points P an S or between points an R = sum of the three capacitances = C = 9 F. Hence the correct choice is (). (ii) 14. C = 1 pf = F = 1-1 F Let the number of sheets of foils require be n. They will form (n - 1) capacitors. If K is the ielectric constant of the ielectric, the capacitance is given K (n 1)A C C C 4 Or n 1. K A K.4 r 4C K.4 r (1. 1 ) or n = 1 Hence the correct choice is (a). 15.

The capacitance of air capacitor in Fig. is A A C C / 1 The capacitance of the ielectric fille capacitor in Fig. is C k A k A kc / where k is the ielectric constant.

If A is the area of each plate, the capacitance of the air-fille capacitor shown in Fig. (a) is A C, where C = F (given). The capacitance of air capacitor in Fig. is A / A C C1 The capacitance of ielectric fille capacitor in Fig. is C k A / k A kc Since C 1 an C are in parallel, the capacitance C of the capacitor shown in Fig. is

The charge at R exerts a repulsive on charge at P along PS of magnitue F. The angle between these two forces is 1. From parallelogram law, the magnitue of the resultant force is F 1 = F + F + F cos 1 = F - F = F or F r = F. As shown in the figure, the irection of the resultant force is along the negative x- irection. Hence the correct choice is. 19. Refer to Fig. Charges at P an R both exert an attractive force on charge at. The angle between these forces is 6. The resultant force has a magnitue F = F + F + F cos 6 = F + F = F F r = F The angle is given by tan =. o Fsin 6 1 o F Fcos 6 Hence the correct choice is ().. Refer to Fig. Let us consier forces on a ball, say,. Three forces act on it: (i) tension T in the threa, (ii) force mg ue to gravity an (iii) force F ue to Coulomb repulsion along +ve x- irection. For equilibrium, the sum of the x an y components of these forces must be zero, i.e. T cos 6 - F=

24 an T sin 6 - mg= These equations give F = mg cot 6 = = 1- N. Now 1 q F. 4 r Putting F = 1 - N, r =. m an 1 4 = 9 19, we get q = 1-7 coulomb. 1. Refer to Fig. The electric fiel E 1 at (a, b) ue to q 1 has a magnitue 1 q E a an is irecte along + x-axis. The electric fiel E at (a, b) ue to q has a magnitue 1 q E. 4 b an is irecte along +y-axis. The angel subtene by the resultant fiel E with the x-axis is given by E q a 1 E1 q1 b 1 tan. Hence the correct choice is.. The correct choice is (). The electric fiel E exerts a force qe on charge + q an a force - qe on charge - q of the ipole. Since these forces are equal an opposite, they a upto zero.. The correct choice is. A torque acts on the ipole which tens to align it along the fiel. 4. The correct choice is. In a non-uniform electric fiel, a ipole experiences a force which gives it a translational motion an a torque which gives it a rotational motion. 5. Refer to Fig. Potential at O is

25 1 q q q q V 4 r r r r Hence the correct choice is (). 6. The istance of a vertex from the centre of the cube of sie b is r = b/. Now the potential ue to charge q at the centre is q/4 r. Hence the potential ue to the arrangement of eight charges (each of magnitue q) at the centre is 8q 4q V 4 r b 7. We know that electric fiels are to be ae vectorially. From the symmetry of the eight charges with respect to the centre of the cube, it is evient that the electric fiels at the centre ue to two opposite charges cancel in pairs (being equal an opposite). Hence the net electric fiel at the centre of the cube will be zero. 8. Refer to Fig. The istance of point P 1 from charge + q is r 1 = z - a an from charge - q is r = z + a. 1 q q Potential at P l = 4 r1 r q r r. 4 r r 1 1 qa 4 (z a ), which is choice. 9. Refer to Fig. again. Any point on the perpenicular bisector passing through the centre of the ipole is at the same istance from the two charges. Hence the potentials at point P (5,, ) an that at point P (- 7,, ) are zero. Since P an P are at the same potential (zero), the potential

26 ifference between them is zero. Hence no work will be one in moving a charge from P to P, The answer will not change if the path of the charge is change because the work one is inepenent of the path taken.. Refer to Fig. The total potential energy of the arrangement of charges is the sum of the energies of each pair of charges. The potential energy of the system comprising the three charges q 1, q an q is U = W 1 + W + W 1 qq q q q q 4 r r r 1 1 (i) 1 1 Here q 1 = q = q = C (proton), q = -q = C (electron), r 1 = 1.5 Å = m, r 1 = r = 1 Å = m an 1/4 n = Nm C -. Thus 1 4 q 1 U. joule q1. ev = 19.eV 1. Charge on electron (- e) = C, charge on proton (e) = C, separation r =.5 Å = m. If the zero of potential energy is taken to be at infinite separation, the potential energy of the electron-proton system is 1 e U. joule 4 r 1 e. ev 4 r (1.6 1 ) eV Hence the correct choice is.. If the electron was at rest, 7. ev of the energy will have to be supplie (or J of work will have to be one) to free the electron from the attraction of the proton an remove it to infinity. Since the electron is moving (roun the proton) with a kinetic energy = U/ = 1/ (-

27 7.) = ev, the electron itself is supplying an energy of 1.6 ev ue to centrifugal action. Hence the minimum amount of work require to free the electron = = 1.6 ev = = J. Hence the correct choice is ().. The potential energy of electron-proton system at a separation of 1.6 Å = half that at a separation of.5 Å = half of - 7. ev = ev. If the zero of potential energy at a separation of 1.6 Å is taken to be zero (instea of- 1.6 ev), the potential energy of the electron-proton system woul be = (- 1.6) = ev, which is choice. 4. Since the potential energy of the system is now ev, the energy supplie by the electron itself is 1.6 ev by virtue of its orbital motion roun the proton. Hence the minimum work to pull the electron from the atom will be zero. 5. The series combination of C an C is equivalent to a capacitance C' given by C' C C CC C' 1pF C C Or Therefore the circuit reuces to the one shown in Fig. (a). The equivalent capacitance between points A an B is C" = C 1 + C = = pf The circuit may be further simplifie to that in Fig.. The equivalent capacitance C of the entire network, i.e., between points A an D, is now that of the series combination of C" an C 4. Thus C C" C 1 or C pf Hence the correct choice is. 6. The series combination of 6 an 1 is equivalent to 4 an the parallel combination of an is also equivalent to 4. Therefore the network can be simplifie as shown in Fig. The parallel combination of 4 an 4 is equivalent to 8 an the series combination of 8 an 4 is equivalent to 8/. Thus the combination in Fig.1 reuces to that in Fig. The series combination of 1 an 8 in Fig. yiels 8/9 as shown in Fig.

28 (1) () () Now 8/ an 8/9 are in parallel an their equivalent is /9. Therefore, the network finally reuces to that in Fig. 4. Since the total capacitance between A an B is to be (i.e. 1F), we have C (4) C F. Hence the correct choice is. 7. Charge 1 an C 1 = C 1 V 1 = = 1-4 C. Charge on C = C V = = 1-4 C. Total charge = 1 + = C. Total energy before connection is E 1 C V 1 C V (1) 41 (5) 6 6 = J The common potential ifference F after connection is given by C 1 V + C V = or Therefore, total energy after connection is 1 1 E (C1 C )V (C C ) 4 1 (41 ) 6 ( 4) 1 V C C J 1 Loss of energy = E 1 - E =.17 1 J. Hence the correct choice is (). 8. Points A, B an C are at the same istance from charge + q; hence electrical potential is the same at these points, i.e. there is no potential ifference between A, B an C. Hence W 1 = W =. 9. The electric potential at the common centre is q q 1 V 4 r 1 4 r q1 q Now 4r 4r 1

Hence 4 r 4r E 4 r Thus the correct choice is (a). 41. The correct choice is 4. The correct choice is. 4. If the raius of a bubble is increase by a factor n, its capacitance is also increase by a factor n, i.e. C' = nc. Since the charge on the bubble remains unchange, we have Or = CV = C' V' CV CV V V' C' nc n Hence the correct choice is. 44. If p is the ensity of a small rop an r its raius, then the mass of each small rop is m = If n such rops coalesce to form a big rop of raius R, then the mass of the big rop is nm = 4 R. Hence R = n 1/ r. Now, the capacitance of a sphere is proportional to its raius. Hence the capacitance of the big rop will be C' = n 1/ C. Hence the correct choice is (). 4 r. 45. If is the charge on each small rop, charge on the big rop is ' = n. Now ' = C'V = = CV. 46. Therefore V' ' C n n 1/ V C' n Hence the correct choice is (). E CV,E' C'V' / 1 1. Therefore, E ' C' V '. = n 1/ (n / ) = n 5/ E C V Hence the correct choice is. 47. The combination is equivalent to(1-1) = 9 capacitors, each of capacitance C connecte in parallel. Hence the correct choice is.

Therefore, potential ifference 8 across each 1 F capacitor = charge/capacitance = C/1F = volts. 49. Capacitors of capacitances F an F are in parallel an this combination is in series with 1 F capacitor. Thus we have 1 F capacitor in series with 5 F capacitor an the potential ifference across this series combination is 6V. Therefore, the potential ifferences across 5 F capacitor (which consists of a parallel combination of F an F capacitors) is 1 V. Hence the charge on F capacitor = F 1 V = C, which is choice. 5. Capacitors 1 F, F an F are in parallel, their total capacitance is 6 F. Thus, we have three capacitors in series each of capacitance 6 F across the 1 V power supply. So the potential rop across each is 1/ = 4 V. This is also the potential across 1 F capacitor an F capacitor an F capacitor, because they are in parallel. Therefore, charge on F capacitor = F 4V = 8 C. Hence the correct choice is. 51. The istance of the point of intersection of iagonals = sie of the hexagon = a. The potential at this point ue to each charge = 1 q.. Therefore, total potential = 4 a 1 6q. which is choice. 4 a 5.

Therefore, the potential at the surface of the sphere is given by 1 V., which is choice. 4 R 57. At points insie a charge metallic sphere, i.e. for r < R, the potential is zero. Hence the correct 58. choice is (a). V E i where i is a unit vector along the positive x-axis. Hence E at a point whose x- x coorinate is x = 1 m is E (4x )i = -8xi = -8i Vm -1. x The negative sign shows that E is along the negative x-axis. Hence the correct choice is (a). 59. If a symmetrical close surface has n ientical surfaces an a charge is place at its centre, then the flux through each face = n Hence the correct choice is ()..
