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

As we know that,   σ =charge/Area

Q1= σ (4 π r 2)

Q2= σ (4 π ( 2 r ) 2)= 4Q1

when they come in contact with each other potential being same and charge will be conserved.

So net charge is 5Q1= 5 ( σ (4 π r 2)

Also V1=V2

KQ1/R=KQ2/2R  so Q1=Q2/2

Q1= 5 3 ( σ (4 π r 2) and Q2= 10 3 ( σ (4 π r 2)

σ =5 σ /3  and σ  =5 σ /6

To lift the disc ther must be some electrostatic force is reqired.

F=qE……. (1), E=V/d………. (2)

But the charge required during the process is - ? 0 v d ? r2, using this relation in 1 and 2

F=- ? 0 v d ? r2V/d…… (3)

Also to balance something F=mg……. (4)

From equation 3 and 4

Mg= - ? 0 v d ? r2V/d, so V = ? m g d ? 0 ? r 2 this the requird solution.

1 4 π ? ? q ( x 2 + ( d / 2 ) 2 + h 2 - 1 4 π ? ? q ( x 2 - ( d / 2 ) 2 + h 2

If net potential is zero then,

1 ( x 2 + ( d / 2 ) 2 + h 2 = 1 ( x 2 + ( d / 2 ) 2 + h 2

x 2 + ( d / 2 ) 2 + h 2 = x 2 - ( d / 2 ) 2 + h 2

2dx= 0 , x=0

X=0 , y-z plane.

2.36 Answer the following:

(a) The top of the atmosphere is at about 400 kV with respect to the surface of the earth, corresponding to an electric field that decreases with altitude. Near the surface of the earth, the field is about 100 Vm–1. Why then do we not get an electric shock as we step out of our house into the open? (Assume the house to be a steel cage so there is no field inside!)

(b) A man fixes outside his house one evening a two metre high insulating slab carrying on its top a large aluminium sheet of area 1m2. Will he get an electric shock if he touches the metal sheet next morning?

(c) The discharging current in the at

2.36 We do not get an electric shock as we step out of our house because the original equipotential surfaces of open air changes, keeping our body and the ground at the same potential.

Yes, the person will get an electric shock if he touches the metal slab next morning. The steady discharging current in the atmosphere charges up the aluminium sheet. As a result, its voltage rises gradually. The raise in the voltage depends on the capacitance of the capacitor formed by the aluminium slab and the ground.

The occurrence of thunderstorm and lightning charges the atmosphere continuously. Hence, even with the presence of discharging current of

2.35 According to Gauss's law, the electric field between a sphere and a shell is determined by the charge q1 on a small sphere. Hence, the potential difference, V, between the sphere and the shell is independent of charge q2 . For positive charge q1 , potential difference V s always positive.

2.34 Equidistant planes parallel to the x-y plane are the equipotential surfaces.

Planes parallel to the x-y plane are the equipotential surfaces with the exception that when the planes get closer, the field increases

Concentric spheres centered at the origin are equipotential surfaces.

A periodically varying shape near the given grid is the equipotential surface. This shape gradually reaches the shape of planes parallel to the grid at a larger distance.

2.33 Potential rating of the capacitor, V = 1 kV = 1000 V

Dielectric constant of a material, ?r = 3

Dielectric strength = 107 V/m

For safety, the field intensity should not cross 10% of the dielectric strength, hence

Electric field intensity, E = 10 % of 107 = 106 V/m

Capacitance of the parallel plate capacitor, C = 50 pF = 50 *10-12 F

Distance between the plates, d is given by d = VE = 1000106 m = 10-3 m

Capacitance is given by the relation

C = ε0?rAd , where ε0 = permittivity of free space = 8.854 *10-12 C2N-1 m-2

50 *10-12 = 8.854*10-12*3*A10-3

A = 1.88 *10-3 m2 = 18.8 cm2

Hence, t
