A small metal ball is suspended in a uniform electric field with the help of an insulated thread. If high energy X-ray beam falls on the ball, the ball will be deflected in the direction of the field.

(A): A small metal ball is suspended in a uniform electric field with an insulated thread. If high energy X-ray beam falls on the ball, the ball will be deflected in the electric field. (R ): X-rays emits photoelectron and metal becomes negatively charged.

A 1kg ball is suspended in a uniform electric field with the help of a string fixed to a point. The ball is given a charge sqrt(5) coulomb and the string makes an angle 37^(@) with the vertical in equilibrium position. In the equilibrium position the tension is double the weight of the ball. Find the magnitude of the electric field in N//C .

Two vertical metallic plates carrying equal and opposite charges are kept parallel to each other like a parallel plate capacitor. A small spherical metal ball is suspended by a long insulated thread such that it hangs freely in the centre of the two metallic plates. The ball which is uncharged is taken slowly towards the positively charged plate and is made to touch that plate. Then the ball will

A ball of mass m with a charge q can rotate in a vertical plane at the end of a string of length l in a uniform electrostatic field whose lines of force are directed upwards. What horizontal velocity must be imparted to the ball in the upper position so that the tension in the string in the lower position of the ball is 1.5 times than the weight of the ball?

A dipole of electric dipole moment p is placed in a uniform electric field of strength E. If theta is the angle between positive direction of p and E, then the potential energy of the electric dipole is largest when theta is

A charged ball of mass 9 kg is suspended from a string in a uniform elelctric field vecE = (3hati + 5hatj) xx 10^5 N//C . The ball is in equilibrium with theta=37^@ . If direction of electric field is reversed, find the new equilibrium position of the ball. Given your answer in terms of angle made by string with vertical. Take g = 10ms^(-2) .

A particle of mass 'm' and charge 'q' is suspended from the ceiling with the help of an insulating wire of length 'l' . It is placed in an uniform electric field as shown in figure. Then the time period of oscillation is

An electrically isolated hollow (initially uncharged), conducting sphere has a small positively charged ball suspended by an insulating rod from its inside surface, see diagram This causes the inner surface of the sphere to become negatively charged. When the ball is centred in the sphere the electric field outside the conducting spehere is

An uncharged metal sphere suspended by a silk thread is placed in a uniform extermal electric field. E. (a) what is the magnitude of the electric field for points inside the sphere ? (b) is your answer changed if the sphere carriers a charge ?
