Two large circular discs separated by a distance of $0.01 m$ are connected to a battery via a switch as shown in the figure. Charged oil drops of density $900 kg m ^{-3}$ are released through a tiny hole at the center of the top disc. Once some oil drops achieve terminal velocity, the switch is closed to apply a voltage of $200 V$ across the discs. As a result, an oil drop of radius $8 \times 10^{-7} m$ stops moving vertically and floats between the discs. The number of electrons present in this oil drop is (neglect the buoyancy force, take acceleration due to gravity $=10 ms ^{-2}$ and charge on an electron ($e$) $=1.6 \times 10^{-19} C$ )

Process $1$: In the circuit the switch $S$ is closed at $t=0$ and the capacitor is fully charged to voltage $V_0$ (i.e. charging continues for time $T \gg R C$ ). In the process some dissipation ( $E_D$ ) occurs across the resistance $R$. The amount of energy finally stored in the fully charged capacitor is $EC$.
Process $2$: In a different process the voltage is first set to $\frac{V_0}{3}$ and maintained for a charging time $T \gg R C$. Then the voltage is raised to $\frac{2 \mathrm{~V}_0}{3}$ without discharging the capacitor and again maintained for time $\mathrm{T} \gg \mathrm{RC}$. The process is repeated one more time by raising the voltage to $V_0$ and the capacitor is charged to the same final

- 8Consider an evacuated cylindrical chamber of height $h$ having rigid conducting plates at the ends and an insulating curved surface as shown in the figure. A number of spherical balls made of a light weight and soft material and coated with a conducting material are placed on the bottom plate. The balls have a radius $r \ll h$. Now a high voltage source ($HV$) is connected across the conducting plates such that the bottom plate is at $+V_0$ and the top plate at $-V_0$. Due to their conducting surface, the balls will get charged, will become equipotential with the plate and are repelled by it. The balls will eventually collide with the top plate, where the coefficient of restitution can be taken to be zero due to the soft nature of the material of the balls. The electric field in the chamber can be considered to be that of a parallel plate capacitor. Assume that there are no collisions between the balls and the interaction between them is negligible. (Ignore gravity)View Solution
