An empty thick conducting shell of inner radius $a$ and outer radius $b$ is shown in figure.If it is observed that the inner face of the shell carries a uniform charge density $-\sigma$ and the surface carries a uniform charge density $ '\sigma '$
If the charge $q_A$ is slowly moved inside the shell, then choose the statement$(s)$
Two identical particles of mass m carry a charge $Q$ each. Initially one is at rest on a smooth horizontal plane and the other is projected along the plane directly towards first particle from a large distance with speed $v.$ The closest distance of approach be
A parallel plate capacitor has $1\,\mu F$ capacitance. One of its two plates is given $+2\,\mu C$ charge and the other plate, $+4\,\mu C$ charge. The potential difference developed across the capacitor is......$V$
Two parallel plate capacitors have their plate areas $100 \,cm ^2$ and $500 \,cm ^2$ respectively. If they have the same charge and potential and the distance between the plates of the first capacitor is $0.5 \,mm$, then the distance between the plates of the second capacitor is ........ $cm$
A $5\, \mu F$ capacitor is charged fully by a $220\,V$ supply. It is then disconnected from the supply and is connected in series to another uncharged $2.5\;\mu F$ capacitor. If the energy change during the charge redistribution is $\frac{ X }{100} \;J$ then value of $X$ to the nearest integer is$.....$
A charge $+q$ is distributed over a thin ring of radius $r$ with line charge density $\lambda=q \sin ^{2} \theta /(\pi r)$. Note that the ring is in the $X Y$ - plane and $\theta$ is the angle made by $r$ with the $X$-axis. The work done by the electric force in displacing a point charge $+ Q$ from the centre of the ring to infinity is
Electric charges of $+10\,\mu\, C, +5\,\mu\, C, -3\,\mu\, C$ and $+8\,\mu\, C$ are placed at the corners of a square of side$\sqrt 2\,m$ . The potential at the centre of the square is
The diagram shows four capacitors with capacitances and break down voltages as mentioned. What should be the maximum value of the external emf source such that no capacitor breaks down ? .......$kV$
In an adjoining figure are shown three capacitors ${C_1}$,${C_2}$ and ${C_3}$ joined to a battery. The correct condition will be (Symbols have their usual meanings)
