A sphere of radius $$R$$ carries charge density $$\rho $$ proportional to the square of the distance from the centre such that $$\rho = C{R^2},$$ where $$C$$ is a positive constant. At a distance $$\frac{R}{2}$$ from the centre, the magnitude of the electric field is
A
$$\frac{{C{R^3}}}{{20{ \in _0}}}$$
B
$$\frac{{C{R^3}}}{{10{ \in _0}}}$$
C
$$\frac{{C{R^3}}}{{5{ \in _0}}}$$
D
$$\frac{{C{R^3}}}{{40{ \in _0}}}$$
Answer :
$$\frac{{C{R^3}}}{{40{ \in _0}}}$$
$${\text{For,}}\,r = \frac{R}{2}$$
Using Gauss's law, we have
$$\eqalign{
& \oint {\vec E \cdot d\vec A = \frac{{{q_{{\text{in}}}}}}{{{ \in _0}}}\,\,{\text{or}}\,\,E \times 4\pi {r^2} = \int\limits_0^{\frac{R}{2}} {\frac{{\rho 4\pi {r^2}dr}}{{{ \in _0}}}} } \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,E = \frac{{C{r^3}}}{{5{ \in _0}}} = \frac{{C{R^3}}}{{40{ \in _0}}}. \cr} $$

A charged particle $$q$$ is placed at the centre $$O$$ of cube of length $$L\left( {ABCDEFGH} \right).$$ Another same charge $$q$$ is placed at a distance $$L$$ from $$O.$$ Then the electric flux through $$ABCD$$ is
A
$$\frac{q}{4}\pi { \in _0}L$$
B
zero
C
$$\frac{q}{2}\pi { \in _0}L$$
D
$$\frac{q}{3}\pi { \in _0}L$$
Answer :
zero
Both the charges are identical and placed symmetrically about $$ABCD.$$ The flux crossing $$ABCD$$ due to each charge is $$\frac{1}{6}\left[ {\frac{q}{{{ \in _0}}}} \right]$$ but in opposite directions. Therefore the resultant is zero.

A ring of charge with radius $$0.5\,m$$ has $$0.002\,\pi m$$ gap. If the ring carries a charge of $$+1\,C,$$ the electric field at the centre is
A
$$7.5 \times {10^7}N{C^{ - 1}}$$
B
$$7.2 \times {10^7}N{C^{ - 1}}$$
C
$$6.2 \times {10^7}N{C^{ - 1}}$$
D
$$6.5 \times {10^7}N{C^{ - 1}}$$
Answer :
$$7.2 \times {10^7}N{C^{ - 1}}$$
Charge on the element opposite to the gap is
$$\eqalign{
& dq = \frac{Q}{{2\pi r}}\left( {0.002\pi } \right) \cr
& = \frac{1}{{2\pi \left( {0.5} \right)}} \times \frac{{2\pi }}{{1000}} = 2 \times {10^{ - 3}}C \cr
& E = \frac{{9 \times {{10}^9} \times 2 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}}}{{{{\left( {0.5} \right)}^2}}} = 7.2 \times {10^7}N{C^{ - 1}} \cr} $$

A charge $$q$$ is placed at the centre of the open end of a cylindrical vessel. The flux of the electric field through the surface of the vessel is
A
zero
B
$$\frac{q}{{{\varepsilon _0}}}$$
C
$$\frac{q}{{2{\varepsilon _0}}}$$
D
$$\frac{{2q}}{{{\varepsilon _0}}}$$
Answer :
zero
The flux is zero according to Gauss’ Law because it is a open surface which enclosed a charge $$q.$$

If the dipole of moment $$2.57 \times {10^{ - 17}}cm$$ is placed into an electric field of magnitude $$3.0 \times {10^4}\,N/C$$ such that the fields lines are aligned at $${30^ \circ }$$ with the line joining $$P$$ to the dipole, what torque acts on the dipole?
116.
Two point charges $$ + 8q$$ and $$ - 2q$$ are located at $$x = 0$$ and $$x = L$$ respectively. The location of a point on the $$x$$ axis at which the net electric field due to these two point charges is zero is
117.
Which of the field patterns given below is valid for electric field as well as for magnetic field?
A
B
C
D
Answer :
The pattern of field lines shown in option (C) is correct because
(A) a current carrying toroid produces magnetic field lines of such pattern
(B) a changing magnetic field with respect to time in a region perpendicular to the paper produces induced electric field lines of such pattern.
