Question1.A charged spherical conductor has a surface density of 0.7 Cm-2. When its change is increased by 0.44 C, the charge density changes by 0.14 Cm-2. Find the radius of the sphere and initial charge on it.

 Solution. The spherical charged conductor has surface density




Question4. A charge is distributed uniformly over a ring of radius ‘a’. Obtain an expression for the electric intensity ‘E’ at a point on the axis of the ring. Hence show that for the points at a large distance from the ring, it behaves like a point charge.  

Solution. Suppose that the ring is placed with its plane perpendicular to the x-axis. Consider a small element dl of the ring.

As the total charge q is uniformly distributed, the charge dq on the element dl is


 


Question5. A thin semicircular ring of radius ‘a’ is charged uniformly and the charge per unit length is ‘λ’. Find the electric field at its center.

FORCE AND LAWS OF MOTION, Class IX, Part 4

Image
  If a boy wearing roller skates stands facing a wall and pushes the wall with his hands, the boy finds himself moving backward, away from the wall. It appears as if the wall also pushes the boy away. When the boy exerts a force on the wall by pushing it with his hands, then the wall exerts an equal force on the boy in the opposite direction . Since the boy is wearing roller skates, the opposite force exerted by the wall makes him backward, the boy on roller skates is exerting force on the wall towards the left side. The wall exerts an equal force on the boy towards the right side. Due to this, the boy moves in the backward direction. From this discussion, we conclude that when a boy exerts a force on the wall, the wall exerts an equal and opposite force on the boy . This is just an illustration of Newton’s third law of motion. Whenever one body exerts a force on another body, the second body exerts an equal and opposite force on the second body. The force exerted by the first bo

FORCE AND LAWS OF MOTION, Class IX, Part 3

                                         In order to understand Newton’s second law of motion, we should first know the meaning of the term momentum of a moving body (or moving object). We know that a cricket ball is much heavier than a tennis ball. Suppose we throw a cricket ball and a tennis ball, both with the same speed or velocity. It will be found that more force is required to stop the cricket ball (Which has more mass) and less force is required to stop the tennis ball (which has less mass). We conclude that the force required to stop a moving body is directly proportional to its mass. If we throw two cricket balls of the same mass at different speeds or velocities, it will be found that more force is required to stop that cricket ball which is moving with higher velocity and less force is required to stop that cricket ball which is moving with higher velocity and less force is required to stop the cricket ball moving with lower velocity. So conclude that the force required to
