MCQ
Two identical non-conducting thin hemispherical shells each of radius $R$ are  brought in contact to make a complete sphere . If a total charge $Q$ is uniformly distributed on them, how much minimum force $F$ will  be required to hold them together
  • A
    $F = \frac{{{Q^2}}}{{16\pi {\varepsilon _0}{R^2}}}$
  • $F = \frac{{{Q^2}}}{{32\pi {\varepsilon _0}{R^2}}}$
  • C
    $F = \frac{{{Q^2}}}{{64\pi {\varepsilon _0}{R^2}}}$
  • D
     $\frac{{{Q^2}}}{{32\pi {\varepsilon _0}{R^2}}} >F> \frac{{{Q^2}}}{{64\pi {\varepsilon _0}{R^2}}}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$F = \frac{{{Q^2}}}{{32\pi {\varepsilon _0}{R^2}}}$
b
$\mathrm{F}=$ (Electric pressure) $\times$ (Projected area)

$=\frac{\sigma^{2}}{2 \varepsilon_{0}}\left(\pi r^{2}\right)=\left(\frac{Q}{4 \pi R^{2}}\right)^{2}\left(\frac{1}{2 \varepsilon_{0}}\right) \pi R^{2}$

$\left[ {\frac{{{{\rm{Q}}^2}}}{{32\pi {\varepsilon _0}{{\rm{R}}^2}}}} \right]$

Two particles of mass $m$ each are tied at the ends of a light string of length $2a$ . The whole system is kept on a frictionless horizontal surface with the string held tight so that each mass is at a distance $'a'$ from the centre $P$ (as shown in the figure). Now, the mid-point of the string is pulled vertically upwards with a small but constant force $F$ . As a result, the particles move towards each other on the surface.
