In a uniformly charged dielectric sphere...

In a uniformly charged dielectric sphere, a very thin tunnel has been made along the diameter as shown in figure. A charge particle `-q` having mass m is released from rest at one end of the tunnel. For the situation described, mark the correct statement(s), (neglect gravity).

A

Charge particle will perform SHM about center of the sphere as mean position.

B

Time period of the particle is `2pi sqrt(2piepsilon_0mR^3//qR)`

C

particle will perform oscillation but not SHM.

D

Speed of the particle while crossing the mean position is `sqrt (qQ//4piepsilon_0mR).`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, D
a.,b.,d.
At a center, the force experienced by the charge particle is zero, so it is a position of equilibrium. As we displace the charge so it is a position of equilibrium. As we displace the chare from the equilibrium position, electric force starts acting on it toward equilibrium position and hence equilibrium is a stable one. At a distance `x` from the center of sphere (equilibrium position), force experienced by the charge particle is `F=(qQx)/(4piepsilon_(0)R^(3))` [for `xltR`]
As `F=x`, it performs `SHM` about the center. Time period can be calculated by using `F=mw^(2)x`.

Inside a fixed sphere of radius R and uniform density rho , there is spherical cavity of radius (R )/(2) such that surface of the cavity passes through the centre of the sphere as shows in figure. A particle of mass m_(0) is released from rest at centre B of the cavity. Caculate velocity with which particle strikes the centre A of the sphere. Neglect earth's gravity. Initially sphere and particle are at rest.
