NEET 2022 · PhysicsConductor spherePrevious Year Question

Two hollow conducting spheres of radii R1 and R2 (R1 >> R2) have equal charges. The potential would be:

Answer: (B) More on smaller sphere. Answer: (b) Solution: V = kQ/R with equal Q; potential is inversely proportional to R, so the smaller sphere (smaller R) has the higher potential.

  1. A.More on bigger sphere
  2. B.More on smaller sphere
  3. C.Equal on both the sphere
  4. D.Dependent on the material property of the sphere

Correct Answer

(B) More on smaller sphere

Solution & Explanation

Answer: (b) Solution: V = kQ/R with equal Q; potential is inversely proportional to R, so the smaller sphere (smaller R) has the higher potential. → option (b).

PhysA thin spherical shell is charged by some source. The potential difference between the two points C and P (in V) shown in the figure is (Take 1/4πε₀ = 9 × 10⁹ SI units).PhysIf a conducting sphere of radius R is charged. Then the electric field at a distance r (r > R) from the centre of the sphere would be, (V = potential on the surface of the sphere)PhysTwenty seven drops of same size are charged at 220 V each. They combine to form a bigger drop. Calculate the potential of the bigger drop.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:PhysTwo identical charged conducting spheres A and B have their centres separated by a certain distance. Charge on each sphere is q and the force of repulsion between them is F. A third identical uncharged conducting sphere is brought in contact with sphere A first and then with B and finally removed from both. New force of repulsion between spheres A and B (radii negligible vs separation, treated as point charges) is best given as: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 sphere of radius R is carved out of a uniform solid sphere of radius 2R (internally tangent, so its centre is at distance R from the big centre). The ratio of the moment of inertia of the small sphere to that of the remaining part, both about the Y-axis through the big sphere's centre, is:PhysThe Sun rotates once in 27 days. If it expanded to twice its present radius (uniform-density sphere, no external influence), its new period would be about:
