This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

If there is a potential then E? 0 electric field comes into existence, which is given by as E=-dV/dr
It means there will be field lines pointing inwards or outwards from the surface. These lines cannot be again on the surface, as th

No, the potential function have no free space because when there is a free space there will be a leakage of potential at that point.

It is only possible when their sizes are different . when their sizes are different there capacity would change. So there is potential difference btween them.

The force on a charge particle in electric field F = qE

The free electrons (negative charge) experience electrostatic force in a direction opposite to the direction of electric field.

The direction of electric field is always from hig

This is a long answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Suppose the charge is slightly shifted to left so net potential energy will be

U= 1 4 π ε 0 { - q 2 d - x + - q 2 ( d + x ) }

U= - q 2 4 π ε o 2 d ( d 2 - x 2 )

d U d x = - q 2 2 d 4 π ε o 2 x ( d 2 - x 2 ) 2

System will be in equilibrium if this energy is zero

But when we double differentiate it

But when x<0 this value is negative so less than 0

This shows an unstable equilibrium

It follo

This is a long answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Let any three point x,y,z  seprated by a distance 2d

Then potential due to two charges

q 1 ( x 2 + ( y ) 2 + ( z - d ) 2 + q 2 ( x 2 + ( y ) 2 + ( z + d ) 2 =0

q 1 ( x 2 + ( y ) 2 + ( z - d ) 2 = q 2 ( x 2 + ( y ) 2 + ( z + d ) 2

X2+Y2+z2+ q 1 q 2 + 1 q 1 q 2 - 1 (2zd)+d2-0

this is equation of sphere .

σ =charge/Area

Q= σ (2 π r d r )

V=KdQ/ √ ( r 2+x2)=K σ (2 π r d r )/ √ ( r 2+x2)

 

After integration we got

V= k Q 2 π a 2 ( x 2 + a 2 )-x

When initially K1 is closed and K2 is open, the capacitors C1 and C2 connected in series with battery

Q=CV=C (C1C2/C1+C2) = 6 × 3/6+3=18 μ C

Now K1 was opened and K2 was closed, the battery and capacitor C,
