Question # 9

Describe the force on positive charge when placed between parallel plates with opposite and equal charges.

Ans 1: When a positive point charge is placed between parallel plates with opposite but equal amount of charge ,then electric field intensity due to one plate is equal in magnitude but in same direction of the electric field intensity due to the other plate.So the value of resultant electric field intensity is non-zero.Hence the point charge will be accelerated towards negative plate.

Question # 10

Define electric potential and give its SI units.

Ans 1: The electric potential at any point in an electric field is equal to work done in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to that point keeping it in equilibrium.Its SI unit is Volt (V).

Question # 1

State coulomb's law.

Ans 1: It states that the force of attraction or repulsion between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Question # 2

What is electric potential energy and electric potential difference?

Ans 1: Electric potential energy: The energy is acquired by unit positive charge in carrying it from one point to the other against the electric field keeping it in electrostatic equilibrium is called as electric potential energy,It is the energy stored in the charge 'q' because of its position in an electric field.It is measured in joules.
Ans 2: Electrical potential difference: The electric potential difference between two points is defined as the work done in carrying a unit a positive charge from one point to other point while keeping the charge in electrostatic equilibrium.

Question # 3

What is Potential Gradient?

Ans 1: The quantity gives the maximum value of rate of change of electric potential in magnitude and direction with respect to distance,It is known as potential gradient.

Question # 4

Distinguished between electric field and field intensity.

Ans 1: Electric Field: The space or region around the charge in which it exerts its electric force on other charges is called electric field.
Ans 2: Electric field intensity: At any point in electric field the force experienced by a point charge q is termed as electric or strength at that point.

Question # 5

What is meant by EEG and ERG?

Ans 1: Electroencephalography: is usually applied over human brain to check its abnormal behaviour by the use of electrical energy.For this electrodes are connected to the selected portion of the head and the corresponding response is seen graphically through the screen of a recording device.
Ans 2: Electrocardiography: records the voltage between points on human skin generated by the electrical process in the heart,It is made in running position providing information about hearts performance under stress.

Question # 6

Ans 1: How fast or how slow the capacitor is charging or discharging depends upon the products of the resistance and the capacitance called time constant.Capacitor is charged or discharged rapidly when RC is small.

Question # 7

Electric lines of force never cross why?

Ans 1: Electric lines of force never cross each other,This is because that electric field line has only one direction at any given point.If the lines cross ,electric field lines could have more than one direction which is not possible.

Question # 8

Does the total flux depend upon the shape or geometry of the closed surface?

Ans 1: No,the total flux does not depend upon the shape or geometry of the closed surface,It depends upon medium and charge enclosed.

Question # 9
