A cylindrical block of length 0.4 m and area of cross-section 0.04 m^2 is placed coaxially on a thin metal disc of mass 0.4 kg and of the same cross - section. The upper face of the cylinder is maintained at a constant temperature of 400 K and the initial temperature of the disc is 300K. if the thermal conductivity of the material of the cylinder is 10 "watt"// m-K and the specific heat of the material of the disc is 600J//kg-K , how long will it take for the temperature of the disc to increase to 350 K? Assume for purpose of calculation the thermal conductivity of the disc to be very high and the system to be thermally insulated except for the upper face of the cylinder.

Find the electric field on the axis of a charged disc.

A charge Q is uniformly distributed over the surface of non - conducting disc of radius R . The disc rotates about an axis perpendicular to its plane and passing through its centre with an angular to its plane and passing through its centre of the disc. If we keep both the amount of charge placed on the disc and its angular velocity to be constant and vary the radius of the disc then the variation of the magnetic induction at the centre of the disc will br represented by the figure:

A point charge Q_(1)=-125mu C is fixed at the center of an insulated disc of mass 1 kg. The disc rests on a rough horizontal plane. Another charge Q_(2)=125mu C is fixed verically above the center of the disc at a height h=1m. After the disc is displaced slightly in the horizontall direction (friction is sufficient to prevent slipping), find the period of oscillation of disc.
