In figure two positive charges and fixed along the -axis, exert a net electric force in the -direction on a charge fixed along the -axis. If a positive charge is added at , the force on
shall increase along the positive -axis
shall decrease along the positive -axis
shall point along the negative -axis
shall increase but the direction changes because of the intersection of with and
Get Answer
The force on depend on the force acting between and and and so that the net force acting on by and by is along the -direction, so the force acting between and is attractive force as shown in figure :
The attractive force between these charges states that is a negative charge (since, and are positive).
Then the force acting between and charge (positive) is also know as attractive force and then the net force on by and are along the same direction as shown in the figure.
The figure shows that the force on shall increase along the positive -axis due to the positive charge .
A point positive charge is brought near an isolated conducting sphere (figure). The electric field is best given by
If a positive point charge is brought near an isolated conducting sphere without touching the sphere, then the free electrons in the sphere are attracted towards the positive Charge and electric field passes through a charged body. This leaves an excess of positive charge on the (right) surface of sphere due to the induction process.
Both type of charges are bound in the (isolated conducting) sphere and cannot escape. They, therefore, reside on the surface. Thus, the left surface of sphere has an excess of negative charge and the right surface of sphere has an excess of positive charge as shown in figure. attracted negative
An electric field lines start from positive charge and ends at negative charge.
Also, electric field line emerges from a positive charge, in case of single charge and ends at infinity shown in figure
The electric flux through the surface
in Fig. (iv) is the largest
in Fig. (iii) is the least
in Fig. (ii) is same as Fig. (iii) but is smaller than Fig. (iv)
is the same for all the figures
By Gauss's law : The total of the electric flux out of a closed surface is equal to the charge enclosed devided by
the permittivity i.e., .
Thus, electric flux through a surface doesn't depend on the shape, size or area of a surface but it depends on the number of charges enclosed by the surface. So all the given figures have same electric flux as all of them also has same single positive charge
Five charges , and are fixed at their positions as shown in Figure, is a Gaussian surface. The Gauss' law is given by .
Which of the following statements is correct?
E on the LHS of the above equation will have a contribution from and and while on the RHS will have a contribution from and only
E on the LHS of the above equation will have a contribution from all charges while on the RHS will have a contribution from and only
on the LHS of the above equation will have a contribution from all charges while on the RHS will have a contribution from and .
Both E on the LHS and on the RHS will have contributions from and only
Gauss's law states that total electric flux of an enclosed surface is given by, , includes the sum of all charges enclosed by the surface.
The charges may be located anywhere inside the surface, and out side the surface. Then, the electric field on the left side of equation is due to all the charges, both inside and outside S.
So, E on LHS of the above equation will have a contribution from all charges while on the RHS will have a contribution from and only.
Figure shows electric field lines in which an electric dipole is placed as shown. Which of the following statements is correct?
The dipole will not experience any force
The dipole will experience a force towards right
The dipole will experience a force towards left
The dipole will experience a force upwards
The electric field lines, are directed away from positively charged source and directed toward negatively charged source. In electric field force are directly proportional to the electric field strength hence, higher the electric field strength greater the force and vice-versa.
The space between the electric field lines is increasing, from left to right so strength of electric field decreases with the increase in the space between electric field lines. Then the force on charges also decreases from left to right. Thus, the force on charge is greater than force on charge in turn dipole will experience a force towards left.
A hemisphere is uniformely charged positively. The electric field at a point on a diameter away from the centre is directed
perpendicular to the diameter
parallel to the diameter
at an angle tilted towards the diameter
at an angle tilted away from the diameter
Consider a point on diameter away from the centre of hemisphere uniformly positively charged, then the electric field is perpendicular to the diameter and the component of electric intensity parallel to the diameter cancel out.
