A point charge \(q\) is placed within a spherical cavity inside a metallic conductor, slightly off-centre. The charge \(q\) induces a charge distribution on the inner surface of the cavity. The net force on \(q\) due to the induced charges is:
                        
1. zero
2. towards the centre
3. away from the centre
4. either towards or away from the centre depending on the sign of \(q\)

NEET MCQ Books for XIth & XIIth Physics, Chemistry & Biology

Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): The electrostatic field of a charge distributed uniformly over the surface of a sphere vanishes within the sphere, only at its centre.
Reason (R): This cancellation occurs at the centre due to the symmetry of the sphere and the symmetric, uniform charge distribution.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. (A) is False but (R) is True.

Two identical balls of cork \(\mathrm{(C_1,C_2)}\) are charged oppositely with equal amounts of charge distributed uniformly over their respective surfaces. Two similar (of same size) balls of copper\((M_1,M_2)\) are charged in the same way as the previous two balls. \(\mathrm{C_1,C_2}\) are allowed to touch each other briefly and are separated, and the same is done with \(M_1,M_2.\) The electrostatic force between \(\mathrm{C_1,C_2}\) is \(F_C\) and that between \(M_1,M_2\) is \(F_M\) at the same separation. Then:
1. \(F_C=0,F_M\neq0\) 2. \(F_C\neq0,F_M=0\)
3. \(F_C=0,F_M=0\) 4. \(F_C\neq0,F_M\neq0\)

A thin uniform rod of mass \(M\) and length \(L\) is suspended from one of its ends, '\(A\)', so that it can rotate freely about it. A charge '\(q\)' is fixed to its lower end \(B\). A uniform horizontal Electric field is switched on and the rod rotates about \(A\), finally coming to equilibrium – making an angle of \(45^{\circ}\) with the vertical. If the acceleration due to gravity is '\(g\)', then,

1. \(qE =Mg\)
2. \(2qE =Mg\)
3. \(qE =2Mg\)
4. \(\sqrt{2}qE =Mg\)
