NEET 2021 · PhysicsPrevious Year Question

Two charged spherical conductors of radii R₁ and R₂ are connected by a wire. Then the ratio of the surface charge densities of the spheres (σ₁/σ₂) is

Answer: (D) R₂/R₁. Answer: (d) Solution: When connected by a wire, the two conductors reach a common potential: V = kQ₁/R₁ = kQ₂/R₂ → Q₁/Q₂ = R₁/R₂ Surface charge density: σ = Q/(4πR²).

  1. A.(R₁/R₂)²
  2. B.R₂²/R₁²
  3. C.R₁/R₂
  4. D.R₂/R₁

Correct Answer

(D) R₂/R₁

Solution & Explanation

Answer: (d) Solution: When connected by a wire, the two conductors reach a common potential: V = kQ₁/R₁ = kQ₂/R₂ → Q₁/Q₂ = R₁/R₂ Surface charge density: σ = Q/(4πR²). σ₁/σ₂ = (Q₁/R₁²)/(Q₂/R₂²) = (Q₁/Q₂)·(R₂²/R₁²) = (R₁/R₂)·(R₂²/R₁²) = R₂/R₁. So σ ∝ 1/R, giving σ₁/σ₂ = R₂/R₁.

PhysAn electric dipole with dipole moment 5 × 10⁻⁶ C·m is aligned with the direction of a uniform electric field of magnitude 4 × 10⁵ N/C. The dipole is then rotated through an angle of 60° with respect to the electric field. The change in the potential energy of the dipole is:PhysThe plates of a parallel plate capacitor are separated by d. Two slabs of different dielectric constant K1 and K2 with thickness 3d/8 and d/2 respectively are inserted in the capacitor. Due to this, the capacitance becomes two times larger than when there is nothing between the plates. If K1/K2 = 1.25, the value of K1 is:PhysA ball of mass 0.5 kg is dropped from a height of 40 m. It hits the ground and rebounds to a height of 10 m. The impulse imparted to the ball during its collision with the ground is (g = 9.8 m/s²):PhysA 2 A current is flowing through two different small circular copper coils having radii ratio 1 : 2. The ratio of their respective magnetic moments will bePhysAn electron (mass 9 × 10⁻³¹ kg and charge 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C) moving with speed c/100 (c = speed of light) is injected into a magnetic field B of magnitude 9 × 10⁻⁴ T perpendicular to its direction of motion. We wish to apply a uniform electric field E together with the magnetic field so that the electron does not deflect from its path. Then (speed of light c = 3 × 10⁸ m s⁻¹)PhysA container has two chambers of volumes V₁ = 2 litres and V₂ = 3 litres separated by a partition made of a thermal insulator. The chambers contain n₁ = 5 and n₂ = 4 moles of ideal gas at pressures p₁ = 1 atm and p₂ = 2 atm, respectively. When the partition is removed, the mixture attains an equilibrium pressure of:PhysTwo gases A and B are filled at the same pressure in separate cylinders with movable pistons of radius r_A and r_B, respectively. On supplying an equal amount of heat to both systems reversibly under constant pressure, the pistons of gas A and gas B are displaced by 16 cm and 9 cm, respectively. If the change in their internal energy is the same, then the ratio r_A/r_B is equal to:PhysAn oxygen cylinder of volume 30 litre has 18.20 moles of oxygen. After some oxygen is withdrawn from the cylinder, its pressure drops to 11 atmospheric pressure at temperature 27 °C. The mass of the oxygen withdrawn from the cylinder is nearly equal to: [Given R = 100/12 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹, molecular mass of O₂ = 32, 1 atm = 1.01 × 10⁵ N m⁻²]
