An infinite non-conducting vertical wall carries a uniform surface charge density \(\sigma\) (positive in nature). A charged particle of mass \(m\) suspended like a pendulum-stays fixed with its string making an angle of \(45^{\circ}\) with the vertical. The charge on the particle is:
1. | \(\varepsilon_{0} \cdot \dfrac{2 m g}{\sigma}\) | 2. | \(\varepsilon_0\text { } \cdot \dfrac{m g}{\sigma}\) |
3. | \(\varepsilon_{0} \cdot \dfrac{\sqrt{2} m g}{\sigma}\) | 4. | \(\varepsilon_{0} \cdot \dfrac{m g}{\sqrt{2} \sigma}\) |
A conductor is connected to the earth electrically; a positive point charge is brought near it while it remains earthed.
The earth connection is broken and then the positive charge is taken away. The final charge on the conductor is:
1. | zero | 2. | positive |
3. | negative | 4. | unpredictable |
Consider electrostatic and gravitational forces among the following: electron-electron\((ee)\), electron-proton \((ep)\) & proton-proton\((pp)\). All the distances between the particles are the same. Let \(F^{gr}\) 'denote' gravitational force and \(F^{el}\) 'denote' electrostatic force and the subscripts denote the particle pairs. We consider only the magnitudes of the forces. Then:
(a) | \(F_{e p}^{e l}=F_{p p}^{e l}=F_{e e}^{e l}\) |
(b) | \(F_{p p}^{e l}>F_{p p}^{g r}\) |
(c) | \(F_{e p}^{g r}<F_{e p}^{el}\) |
(d) | \(F_{e p}^{g r}=F_{p p}^{g r}=F_{ee}^{gr}\) |
