A plate of mass 10g is in equilibrium in air due to the force exerted by a light beam on the plate. Calculate power of the beam. Assume that the plate is perfectly absorbing.

Assertion: A positively charged rod is held near a neutral conducting solid sphere as illustrated below. The sphere lies on a insulated stand. The potential of ground (or earth) is zero. The potential at point A (point A need not be centre of the sphere) is higher compared to potential of gound (earth). Reason: In this situation of assertion, the potential at the centre of conducting sphere is positive. the solid sphere being conducting, potential at each point in the sphere is same.

Consider a sphere of radius R with charge density distributed as : rho( r) =kr, r le R =0 for r gt R (a) Find the electric field at all points r. (b) Suppose the total charge on the sphere is 2e where e is the electron charge. Where can two protons be embedded such that the force on each of them is zero. Assume that the introduction of the proton does not alter the negative charge distribution.

The diagram shows the arrangement of three small uniformally charged spheres, A,B and C . The arrow indicate the direction of the electrostatic forces acting between the spheres (for example, the left arrow on sphere A indicates the electronstatic force on sphere A due to sphere B ). At least two of the spheres are positively charged. Which sphere, if any, could be negatively charged?

An accelration produces a narrow beam of protons, each having an initial speed of v_(0) . The beam is directed towards an initially uncharges distant metal sphere of radius R and centered at point O. The initial path of the beam is parallel to the axis of the sphere at a distance of (R//2) from the axis, as indicated in the diagram. The protons in the beam that collide with the sphere will cause it to becomes charged. The subsequentpotential field at the accelerator due to the sphere can be neglected. The angular momentum of a particle is defined in a similar way to the moment of a force. It is defined as the moment of its linear momentum, linear replacing the force. We may assume the angular momentum of a proton about point O to be conserved. Assume the mass of the proton as m_(P) and the charge on it as e. Given that the potential of the sphere increases with time and eventually reaches a constant velue. One the potential of the sphere has reached its final, constant value, the minimum speed v of a proton along its trajectory path is given by

Consider two conducting spheres of radii R_(1) and R_(2) with R_(1) gt R_(2) . If the two are at the same potential, the larger sphere bas more charge than the smaller sphere. State whether the charge density of the smaller sphere is more or less than that of the larger one.

Figure shows a metal rod PQ resting on the smooth rails AB and positioned between the poles of a permanent magnet. The rails, the rod, and the magnetic field are in three mutual perpendicular directions. A galvanometer G connects the rails through a switch K. Length of the rod =15 cm, B =0.50 T, resistance of the closed loop containing the rod 9.0 m Omega . Assume the field to be uniform. (a) Suppose K is open and the rod is moved with a speed of 12 "cm s"^(-1) in the direction shown. Give the polarity and magnitude of the induced emf. (b) Is there an excess charge built up at the ends of the rods when K is open ? What if K is closed ? (c) With K open and the rod moving uniformly, there is no net force on the electrons in the rod PQ even though they do experience magnetic force due to the motion of the rod. Explain. (d) What is the retarding force on the rod when K is closed ? How much power is required (by an external agent) to keep the rod moving at the same speed (= 12 cm s^(-1) ) when K is closed ? How much power is required when K is open? (f)How much power is dissipated as heat in the closed circuit ? What is the source of this power ? (g) What is the induced emf in the moving rod if the magnetic field is parallel to the rails instead of being perpendicular ?
