ABCDEFGH is a hollow cube made of an insulator (figure) face ABCD has positive charge on it. Inside the cube, we have ionised hydrogen.

A

will be valid

B

will not be valid, since the ions would experience forece other than due to collisions with the walls.

C

will not be valid since collisions with would not be elastic

D

will not be valid because isotropy is lost

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Due to presence of external positive charge on the face ABCD. The usual expression for pressure on the basis of kinetic theory will not be valid as ions would also experience electrostatic forces other than the forces due to collisions with the walls of the container. Due to pressence of positive charge the isotropy is also lost.

Consider a solid cube made up of insulating material having a uniform volume charge density. Assuming the electrostatic potential to be zero at infinity, the ratio of the potential at a corner of the cube to that at the centre will be

A cube has been cut out from a piezoelectric crystal. When the cube was compressed, it exhibited electric charges on the faces: a positive charge on the upper face and a negative charge on the lower (Figure (a) ). When the cube was stretched, the charges were found to change their signs (Figure (b) ). What will be the signs of the charges on these faces if pressure is applied as shown in Figura (c) ?

There is a cubical cavity inside a conducting sphere of radius R. A positive point charge Q is placed at the centre of the cube and another positive charge q is placed at a distance 1(gtR) from the centre of the sphere. The sphere is earthed Net charge on the outer surface of conducting sphere is
