  • D
    A is false and R is also false.
Answer
Correct option: C.
A is true but R is false.
  1. A is true but R is false.
Explanation:
If the charged particle is initially at rest in an electric field, it will move along the electric line of force. But when the initial velocity of charged particle makes some angle with the line of force then the resultant path is not along the line of force. Because electric line of force may not coincide with the line of velocity of the charge.

Answer
Correct option: A.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
  1. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
The dielectric constant of any material is $\text{K}=\frac{\text{E}_0}{\text{E}}=\frac{\frac{\text{F}_0}{\text{q}}}{\frac{\text{F}}{\text{q}}}=\frac{\text{F}_0}{\text{F}}$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{F}=\frac{\mathrm{F}_0}{\mathrm{~K}}$, where $\mathrm{F}_0$ is force when conductor is not present between the charge. Fis a force after introduction of conductor between charges. Since dielectric constant of a conducting medium is infinity therefore $F=0$.

Question 51 Mark
For two statements are given-one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) as given below.
  1. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
  2. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
  3. A is true but R is false.
  4. A is false and R is also false.
Assertion (A): For charge to be in equilibrium, sum of the forces on charge due to rest of the two charges must be zero.
Reason (R): A charge is lying at the centre of the line joining two similar charges each which are fixed. The system will be in equilibrium if that charge is one fourth of the similar charges.
Answer
  1. A is true but R is false.
Explanation:

According to Coulomb's law, $\text{F}=\text{k}\frac{\text{Q}_1\text{Q}_2}{\text{r}^2}.$

The force on q due to A,

$\text{F}_\text{A}=\frac{1}{4\pi\in_0}\cdot\frac{\text{Qq}}{(\frac{\text{r}}{2})^2}$ to the right



Due to B,

$\text{F}_\text{B}=\frac{1}{4\pi\in_0}\cdot\frac{\text{Qq}}{(\frac{\text{r}}{2})^2}$ to the right

$\therefore$ Their sum is zero whether q is $+\frac{\text{Q}}{4}$or $-\frac{\text{Q}}{4}$ or any other value.

Therefore, it is not true that the third charge has to be $\frac{\text{Q}}{4}$ only. It can be any value.

Assertion (A): Sharper is the curvature of spot on a charged body lesser will be the surface charge density at that point.
Reason (R): Electric field is non-zero inside a charged conductor.
Answer
  1. A is false and R is also false.
Explanation:

Surface of a charged conductor is always an equipotential surface, whatever may be its shape. Hence, $\sigma\text{R}=$ constant, at every point on the surface of charged conductor i.e. at the sharpest point (R → 0) of the surface, charge density will be maximum. A uniformly charged conductor exerts no electrostatic force on a point charge located anywhere inside the conductor or electric field is zero.

Assertion (A): Electric force acting on a proton and an electron, moving in a uniform electric field is the same, where as acceleration of electron is 1836 times that of a proton.
Reason (R): Electron is lighter than proton.
Answer
  1. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:

As F = qE, and charge (q) on an electron and on a proton has the same magnitude, therefore force (F) on each is same. Now, acceleration $\text{a}=\frac{\text{F}}{\text{m}}.$

Mass of electron $=\frac{1}{1836}$ mass of a proton. Therefore, acceleration of electron is 1836 times that of a proton.

Assertion (A): No two electric lines of force can intersect each other.
Reason (R): Tangent at any point of electric line of force gives the direction of electric field.
Answer
  1. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:

If the two electric tines of force can intersect each other then at the point of intersection, we can draw two tangents to the two lines of force. This would mean two directions of electric field intensity at the point of intersection, which is not possible.

Assertion (A): Range of Coulomb force is infinite.
Reason (R): Coulomb force acts between two charged particles.
Answer
  1. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:

Coulomb's force or electric force given by Coulomb's law is valid over nuclear distances $(\cong10^{-15}\text{m})$ as well as over very large distances.

From Coulomb's law, $\text{F}=\frac{\text{k }\mid\text{ q}_1 \parallel\text{ q}_2 \mid}{\text{r}^2}.$ This generally holds only for charged objects whose size are much smaller than the distance between them.

  1. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
As, $\sigma_1=\sigma_2$ (Given)
$\therefore\frac{\text{q}_1}{4\pi\text{r}_1^2}=\frac{\text{q}_2}{4\pi\text{r}_2^2},$
Or $\frac{\text{q}_1}{\text{q}_2}=\frac{\text{r}_1^2}{\text{r}^2_2}$
[Let $\mathrm{r}_1$ and $\mathrm{r}_2$ be two different radii) Then the ratio of electric field intensities near the surface of spherical conductors,
$\frac{\text{E}_1}{\text{E}_2}=\frac{\text{q}_1}{4\pi\in_0\text{r}^2_1}\times\frac{4\pi\in_0\text{r}^2_2}{\text{q}_2}$
$=\frac{\text{q}_1}{\text{q}_2}\times\frac{\text{r}^2_2}{\text{r}^2_1}=\frac{\text{q}_1}{\text{q}_2}\times\frac{\text{q}_2}{\text{q}_1}=1$
i.e. $\mathrm{E}_1=\mathrm{E}_2$.
