Vedclass · Answer

(B) From the equilibrium condition of the spheres,the forces acting are tension $T$,weight $mg$,and electrostatic repulsion $F_e = \frac{kq^2}{x^2}$.Resolving forces: $T \cos 	heta = mg$ and $T \sin 	heta = \frac{kq^2}{x^2}$.Dividing the equations,we get $	an 	heta = \frac{kq^2}{x^2 mg}$.Since $	heta$ is small,$	an 	heta \approx \sin 	heta = \frac{x/2}{l} = \frac{x}{2l}$.Equating the two expressions for $	an 	heta$: $\frac{x}{2l} = \frac{kq^2}{x^2 mg} \implies q^2 = \frac{mg}{2lk} x^3 \implies q \propto x^{3/2}$.Differentiating with respect to time $t$: $\frac{dq}{dt} \propto \frac{3}{2} x^{1/2} \frac{dx}{dt}$.Given that $\frac{dq}{dt}$ is constant,we have $1 \propto x^{1/2} v$,which implies $v \propto x^{-1/2}$.

Two identical non-conducting thin hemispherical shells,each of radius $R$,are brought into contact to form a complete sphere. If a total charge $Q$ is uniformly distributed on them,what is the minimum force $F$ required to hold them together?

$A$ thin-walled,spherical conducting shell $S$ of radius $R$ is given a charge $Q$. The same amount of charge $Q$ is also placed at its center $C$. Which of the following statements are correct?

Assertion: Consider two identical charges placed at a distance $2d$ apart along the $x-$axis. The equilibrium of a positive test charge placed at the point $O$ midway between them is stable for displacements along the $x-$axis.
Reason: The net force on the test charge at point $O$ is zero.
