A uniformly charged semicircular arc of radius ' r ' has linear charge density ( λ ) , is the electric field at its centre? ( 0 = permittivity of free space)

A. λ 4 ϵ 0 r

B. 2 π ϵ 0 λ

C. λ 4 ϵ 0

D. 2 ϵ 0 λ

Correct Option is (A)

The electric field at the centre due to a small element ds of the ring is given by

dE = 1 4 π ϵ 0 λ ds r 2

The field can be resolved along X and Y directions as shown in the figure. Similarly field due to symmetrically situated another element can also be resolved along X and Y directions. The X-components are in the same direction and get added while the Y-components are in opposite directions and cancel each other. Hence, the total field due to the range is

A spherical conducting shell of inner radius 'r 1 ' and outer radius 'r 2 ' has a charge 'Q'. A charge q is placed at the centre of the shell. The surface charge density on the inner and outer surface of the shell will be

MHT CET 2021 20th September Morning Shift Physics - Electrostatics Question 27 English

A. q 4 π r 1 2 and Q q 4 π r 2 2

B. q 4 π r 1 2 and Q 4 π r 2 2

C. q 4 π r 1 2 and Q + q 4 π r 2 2

D. zero and Q q 4 π r 2 2

Correct Option is (A)

Due to charge q at the centre of the shell, a charge q will be induced on the inner surface and q on the outer surface. The charge on outer surface will become Q q. Hence, surface change densities will be q 4 π r 1 2 and Q q 4 π r 2 2

A charge of magnitude '2e' and mass '4m' is moving in an electric field E . The acceleration imparted to the above charge is

A. 2 m 3 Ee

B. Ee 2 m

C. 2 Ee 3 m

D. 3 m 2 Ee

Correct Option is (B)

Force, F = Charge × Electric field = 2eE

Acceleration = Force Mass = 2 eE 4 m = eE 2 m
