Electric field is a $........$?
  • A
    Scalar quantity
  • Vector quantity
  • C
    Tensor quantity
  • D
    Quantity that has properties of both scalar and vector

A soap bubble is given negative charge, its radius will:
  • Increase
  • B
    Decrease
  • C
    Remain unchanged
  • D
    Fluctuate
Answer
Correct option: A.
Increase


The charge will be distributed uniformly over the surface of the bubble by symmetry.
As we know, they want to step much farther apart, as charges repel, the only path outward, taking with them the soap surface.
At the same point, the rise in the restored force of the soap film $($surface tension$)$ would be equal and contrary to the electrostatic force, which will result in a new $($larger$)$ radius of equilibrium.
Because of the ionic similarities, this can happen to both positive and negatively charged bubbles.Therefore, when a negative charge is given to the soap bubble, then its radius will increase.

An inflated balloon was pressed against a wall after it has been rubbed with a piece of synthetic cloth. It was found that the balloon sticks to the wall. What force might be responsible for the attraction between the balloon and the wall?
  • A
    Gravitational
  • B
    Magnetic
  • Electrostatic
  • D
    Adhesive
Answer
Correct option: C.
Electrostatic

Electrostatic force is the phenomenon that results from slow$-$moving or stationary electrical charges. Specifically, electrostatic force is the physical reaction that holds together the electromagnetic field created by subatomic particles, such as electrons and protons. In order for electrostatic forces to remain cohesive, these particles need to independently maintain both positive and negative charges and react to each other accordingly.
When a balloon is rubbed with a cloth, the electrons from the atoms of the cloth enter the atoms of the balloon and the number of electrons in the atoms of balloon becomes more than the number of protons. Because of that, there is a negative charge in the balloon, and in the cloth the number of electrons in its atoms become less than the number of protons, so it's positively charged.
Therefore, due to this electrostatic force, the balloon sticks to the wall.

A girl brings a positively charged rod near a thin neutral stream of water flowing from a tap. She observes, that the water stream, bends towards her. Instead, if she is to bring a negativity charged rod near to the stream, it will:
  • Bend in the same direction.
  • B
    Bend in the opposite direction.
  • C
    Not bend at all.
  • D
    Bend in the opposite direction above and below the rod.
Answer
Correct option: A.
Bend in the same direction.

Water is dipolar in nature. Hence when water enters an electric field, the molecules rearrange themselves.
The case $1$ in the figure, where a positively charged rod is brought near the water, the negative charge moves towards the rod and positive charge moves away from the rod.
Hence, the attractive force is greater than the repulsive force and as a result, the water stream bends towards the rod.
To the contrast, in case $2$, when a negatively charged rod is brought near the water, the molecules rearrange such that positive charge moves towards the rod and the negative charge moves away from it as shown in the figure.
In this case also, the attractive forces dominate the repulsive forces, and hence, the stream still bends towards the rod.

Two point charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ are situated at a distance $d$. There is no such point in between them where the electric field is zero. What can we deduce?
  • A
    There is no such point.
  • B
    The charges are of the same polarity.
  • The charges are of opposite polarity.
  • D
    The charges must be unequal.
Answer
Correct option: C.
The charges are of opposite polarity.

If both the charges are of the same polarity $($maybe of unequal magnitude$)$, there must be a point in between them where the electric field intensities of the charges are of equal magnitude and in opposite direction. Hence they balance each other and the net field intensity must be zero. But if the charges are of opposite polarities their field intensities aid each other and net field intensity can never be zero.

A force $‘F’$ is acting between two charges in air. If the space between them be completely filled with a medium $K = 4$, the force will be:
  • A
    $F$
  • B
    $4F$
  • $\frac{\text{F}}{4}$
  • D
    $2F$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{\text{F}}{4}$
C. $\frac{ F }{4}$
Explanation:
By Coulomb's law, the force between two charges $\left(q_1, q_2\right)$ in air is given by
$F =\frac{ q _1 q _2}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 r ^2}$
where $r =$ distance between two charges.
Now the force between two charges $\left(q_1, q_2\right)$ in medium with dielectric constant $K =4$ becomes, $F =\frac{ q _1 q _2}{4 \pi K \epsilon_0 r ^2}$
So, $F=\frac{ F }{ K }=\frac{ F }{4}$
