Observe the given graph which shows the distance travelled by a car after certain minutes and answer the following questions: Can you tell from the graph the distance covered by the car after 35 minutes?.

Answer the following :- If you compare the gravitational force on the earth due to the sun to that due to the moon, you would find that the Sun’s pull is greater than the moon’s pull. (you can check this yourself using the data available in the succeeding exercises). However, the tidal effect of the moon’s pull is greater than the tidal effect of sun. Why ?

Faraday cage: A Faraday cage or Faraday shield lis an enclosure made of a conducting material. The fields within a conductor cancel out with any external fields, so the electric field within the enclosure is zero. These Faraday cages act as big hollow conductors you can put things in to shield them from electrical fields.Any electrical shocks the cage receives, pass harmlessly around the outside of the cage. A point charge of 2C is placed at centre of Faraday cage in the shape of cube with surface of 9 cm edge. The number of electric field lines passing through the cube normally will be

Faraday cage: A Faraday cage or Faraday shield lies an enclosure made of a conducting material. The fields within a conductor cancel out with any external fields, so the electric field within the enclosure is zero. These Faraday cages act as big hollow conductors you can put things in to shield them from electrical fields.Any electrical shocks the cage receives, pass harmlessly around the outside of the cage. An isolated point charge +q is placed inside the Faraday cage. Its surface must have charge equal to

Answer the following questions: A magnetic field that varies in magnitude from point to point but has a constant direction (east to west) is set up in a chamber. A charged particle enters the chamber and travels undeflected along a straight path with constant speed. What can you say about the initial velocity of the particle?

Assertion. A metallic shield in the form of a hollow shell, can be built to block an electric field. Reason. In a hollow spherical shell, the electric field inside is not zero at every point.
