Two identical charged spheres suspended from a common point by two massless strings of lengths l are initially at a distance d(d < < l) apart because of their mutual repulsion. The charges begin to leak from both the spheres at a constant rate. As a result, the spheres approach each other with a velocity v. Then, v varies as a function of the distance x between the sphere, as:

(a) \(v \propto x\)

(b) \(v \propto x^{\frac{-1}{2}}\)

(c) \(v \propto x^{-1}\)

(d) \(v \propto x^{\frac{1}{2}}\)${\frac{\mathrm{}}{}}^{}$
 

The electric field in a certain region is acting radially outward and is given by E=Ar. A charge contained in a sphere of radius 'a' centered at the origin of the field will be given by

2. $\pi {\in }_{o}A{a}^2$

3. $4\pi {\in }_{o}A{a}^3$

4. ${\in }_{o}A{a}^2$

Two pith balls carrying equal charges are suspended from a common point by strings of equal length, the equilibrium separation between them is r. Now the strings are rigidly clamped at half the height. The equilibrium separation between the balls now become:

3. (2r/√3)

4. (2r/3)

What is the flux through a cube of side 'a' if a point charge q is at one of its corners?

1. $\frac{2q}{{\epsilon }_0}$

4. $\frac{q}{2{\epsilon }_0}6a^2$

A charge Q is enclosed by a Gaussian spherical surface of radius R. If the radius is doubled, then the outward electric flux will

2. remain the same

3. be doubled

4. increase four times

Two positive ions, each carrying a charge q, are separated by a distance d. If F is the force of repulsion between the ions, the number of electrons missing from each ion will be (e being the charge on an electron)

The electric field at a distance $\frac{3\mathrm{R}}{2}$ from the centre of a charged conducting spherical shell of radius R is E. The electric field at a distance $\frac{\mathrm{R}}{2}$ from the centre of the sphere is
