Question
A semicircular ring of radius $'a'$ has charge density $\lambda  = {\lambda _0}\,\cos \,\theta $ where ${\lambda _0}$ is constant and $'\theta'$ is shown in figure. Then total charge on the ring is

Answer

$\mathrm{q}=\int_{0}^{\pi} \lambda \mathrm{Rd} \theta \quad \lambda=\lambda_{0} \cos \theta$

$\mathrm{q}=\lambda_{0} \mathrm{R} \int_{0}^{\pi} \cos \theta \mathrm{d} \theta$

$\mathrm{q}=\lambda_{0} \mathrm{R}(\sin \theta)_{0}^{\pi}=0$

$Assertion :$ The ratio of $\frac{C_p}{C_v}$ for an ideal diatomic gas is less than that for an ideal monoatomic gas (where $C_p$ and $C_v$ have usual meaning).
$Reason :$ The atoms of a monoatomic gas have less degrees of freedom as compared to molecules of the diatomic gas.
