Consider a spherical shell of radius $R$ with a total charge $+ Q$ uniformly spread on its surface (centre of the shell lies at the origin $x=0$ ). Two point charges $+q$ and $-q$ are brought, one after the other from far away and placed at $x=-a / 2$ and $x=+a / 2( < R)$, respectively. Magnitude of the work done in this process is
A charge is spread non-uniformly on the surface of a hollow sphere of radius $R$, such that the charge density is given by $\sigma=\sigma_0(1-\sin \theta)$, where $\theta$ is the usual polar angle. The potential at the centre of the sphere is
In a region, electric field varies as $E = 2x^2 -4$ where $x$ is the distance in metre from origin along $x-$ axis. A positive charge of $1\,\mu C$ is released with minimum velocity from infinity for crossing the origin, then
A capacitor of capacitance $C$ is charged to a potential difference $V_0$. The charging battery is removed and the capacitor is now connected to an uncharged capacitor of unknown capacity, the potential difference across the combination becomes $V$. The unknown capacitance is
A battery is used to charge a parallel plate capacitor till the potential difference between the plates becomes equal to the electromotive force of the battery. The ratio of the energy stored in the capacitor and the work done by the battery will be
In Millikan's experiment, an oil drop having charge $q$ gets stationary on applying a potential difference $V$ in between two plates separated by a distance $d$. The weight of the drop is
Three charges $Q,\, + q$ and $ + q$ are placed at the vertices of a right-angled isosceles triangle as shown. The net electrostatic energy of the configuration is zero if $Q$ is equal to
