  • A$\frac{{2Q}}{{4\pi { \in _0}R}}$
  • B$\frac{{2Q}}{{4\pi { \in _0}R}} - \frac{{2q}}{{4\pi { \in _0}R}}$

    Two insulating plates are both uniformly charged in such a way that the potential difference between them is $V_2 - V_1 = 20\ V$. (i.e., plate $2$ is at a higher potential). The plates are separated by $d = 0.1\ m$ and can be treated as infinitely large. An electron is released from rest on the inner surface of plate $1. $ What is its speed when it hits plate $2?$

    This questions has statement$-1$ and statement$-2$. Of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describe the two statements.
    An insulating solid sphere of radius $R$ has a uniformly
    positive charge density $\rho$. As a result of this uniform charge distribution there is a finite value of electric potential at the centre of the sphere, at the surface of the sphere and also at a point out side the sphere. The electric potential at infinite is zero.

    Statement$ -1$ : When a charge $q$ is take from the centre of the surface of the sphere its potential energy changes by  $\frac{{q\rho }}{{3{\varepsilon _0}}}$

    Statement$ -2$ : The electric field at a distance $r(r < R)$  from centre of the sphere is $\frac{{\rho r}}{{3{\varepsilon _0}}}$
