MCQ
Which of the following formulae is wrong
  • A
    ${C_V} = \frac{R}{{\gamma - 1}}$
  • B
    ${C_P} = \frac{{\gamma \,R}}{{\gamma - 1}}$
  • C
    ${C_p}/{C_v} = \gamma $
  • ${C_P} - {C_V} = 2R$

Answer

Correct option: D.
${C_P} - {C_V} = 2R$
d
The difference between $C_P$ and $C_V$ is $R$, not $2R$.

An electric dipole with dipole moment $\frac{p_0}{\sqrt{2}}(\hat{i}+\hat{j})$ is held fixed at the origin $O$ in the presence of an uniform electric field of magnitude $E_0$. If the potential is constant on a circle of radius $R$ centered at the origin as shown in figure, then the correct statement($s$) is/are:

( $\varepsilon_0$ is permittivity of free space, $R \gg$ dipole size)

$(1)$ $R =\left(\frac{ p _0}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 E _0}\right)^{1 / 3}$

$(2)$ The magnitude of total electric field on any two points of the circle will be same

$(3)$ Total electric field at point $A$ is $\vec{E}_A=\sqrt{2} E_0(\hat{i}+\hat{j})$

$(4)$ Total electric field at point $B$ is $\vec{E}_B=0$
