A charged rod attracts bits of dry paper, which after touching the rod often jump away from it rapidly, Explain

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To explain the phenomenon where a charged rod attracts bits of dry paper, which then jump away after touching the rod, we can break down the explanation into several steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Initial State**: - The charged rod has a negative charge, while the bits of dry paper are initially neutral (having no net charge). 2. **Induction Process**: ...

A metal sphere is suspended from a nylon thread. Initially, the metal sphere is uncharged. When a positively charged glass rod is brought close to the metal sphere, the sphere is drawn towards the rod. But if the sphere touches the rod, it suddenly flies away from the rod. Explain, why the sphere is first attracted then repelled?

When a charged rod is brought near small bits of paper, the small bits will

In Fig. C, what would be the charge on the rod and the sphere after touching. In which direction would the charges flow: from the rod to the sphere or from the sphere to the rod? Why?

Three semi-infinite rods uniformly charged out of which one is negatively charged and other two are positively charged are kept perpendicular to plane of paper outward such that the finite ends of the rods are located at points A, B and C on a circle of radius R as shown in figure. The net electric field at centre of circle O is :

Geeta has dry hair. A comb ran through her dry hair attracts small bits of paper. She observes that Neeta with oily hair combs her hair, the combs could not attract small bits of paper. She consults her teacher for this and gets the answer. She then goes to the junior classes and shows this phenomenon as physics experiment to them. All the juniors feel very happy and tell her that they will also look for such interesting things in nature and try to find the answer. She succeeds in forming a science club in her school. Read the above passage and answer the following questions. (i) What according to you are the values displayed by Geeta? (ii) Explain the phenomenon involved.

A homogenous rod of length l=etax and mass M is lying on a smooth horizontal floor. A bullet of mass m hits the rod at a distance x from the middle of the rod at a velocity v_(0) perpendicular to the rod and comes to rest after collision. If the velocity of the farther end of the rod just after the impact is in the opposite direction of v_(0) , then:

Five Styrofoam balls are suspended from insulating threads. Several experiments are performed on the balls and the following observations are made: (i) Ball A repels C and attracts B. (ii) Ball D attracts B and has no effect on E. (iii) A negatively charged rod attracts both A and E. An electrically neutral Styrofoam ball gets attracted if placed nearby a charged body due to induced charge. What are the charges, if any, on each ball A,B,C,D, and E?

An electrometer consister of a fixed vertical metal bar OB at the top of which is attached a thin rod OA which gets deflected from the bar under the action of an electric charge (fig.). The rod can rotate in vertical plane about fixed horizontal axis passing through O. The reading is taken on a quadrant graduated in degrees. The length of the rod is l and its mass is m. what will be the charge when the rod of such an electrometer is deflected through an angle alpha in equilibrium. Find the answer using the following two assumptions : The charge on the electrometer is equally distributed between the bar & the rod and the charges are concentrated at point A on the rod & at point B on the bar.

A positively charged rod is brought near to a non-conducting object. The rod is attracted to the object. From this observation. We can't predict whether the object is charged or uncharged. Some additional experments have been performed to identify whether the object is charged or uncharged, these experiments with their observations and conclusions drawn are given. Select the option in which conclusion drawn is correct.

Uniform rod AB is hinged at the end A in a horizontal position as shown in the figure ( the hinge is frictionless that is , it does not exert any friction force on the rod ) . The other end of the rod is connected to a block through a massless string as shown. The pulley is smooth and massless . Masses of the block and the rod are same and are equal to 'm' . Then just after released of block from this position, the angular acceleration of the rod is
