When charge is given to an isolated conductor of capacitance . Find out the following
Potential of the conductor
Energy stored in the electric field of the conductor
If this conductor is now connected to another isolated conductor by a conducting wire (at a very large distance) of total charge and capacity then
Find out the common potential of both the conductors.
Find out the heat dissipated during the process of charge distribution.
A cylinder on whose surfaces there is a vertical electric field of varying magnitude as shown. The electric field is uniform on the top surface as well as on the bottom surface therefore, this cylinder encloses
A positively charged body has been brought near a neutral brass sphere mounted on a glass stand as shown in the figure. The potential of will be:
The amount of work done by electric field in joules in carrying a charge along the closed path PQRSP between the oppositely charged metal plates is (where, is electric field between the plates)
Figure shows a closed surface which intersects a conducting sphere. If a positive charge is placed at the point P, the flux of the electric field through the closed surface:
