Q 1 :    

A metal cube of side 5 cm is charged with 6 μC. The surface charge density on the cube is             [2024]
 

  • 0.125×10-3C m-2

     

  • 0.25×10-3C m-2

     

  • 4×10-3C m-2

     

  • 0.4×10-3C m-2

     

(4)

Given, charge (q)=6μC=6×10-6C

Length of cube, (l)=5 cm=0.05 m

Total surface area of cube,

(s)=6l2=6×(10.05)2=0.015 m2

Surface charge density, (σ)=Total chargeTotal area

=6×10-60.015=0.4×10-3 cm-2



Q 2 :    

A spherical conductor of radius 10 cm has a charge of 3.2×10-7C distributed uniformly. What is the magnitude of electric field at a point 15 cm from the centre of the sphere? (14πε0=9×109Nm2/C2)                [2020]
 

  • 1.28×104N/C

     

  • 1.28×105N/C

     

  • 1.28×106N/C

     

  • 1.28×107N/C

     

(2)

Here, r=10 cm, q=3.2×10-7C

E=kqr2=9×109×3.2×10-7225×10-4

E=1.28×105N/C
