Questions Related to charge

A gold coin has a charge of $+10^{-4} C$. The number of electrons removed from it is:

  1. $10^6$

  2. $625 \times 10^{12}$

  3. $1.6 \times 10^{-25}$

  4. $1.6 \times 10^{13}$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The total charge of electrons removed from the coin would be equal to the positive charge acquired by the coin.

Thus, $10^{-4}C=n\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}C$
$\implies n=625\times 10^{12}$

Q(charge)= ?

  1. $\displaystyle n/e$

  2. $\displaystyle ne$

  3. $\displaystyle e/n$

  4. All


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Q=ne, according to Quantum nature of charge, in nature charge always occurs as an integer multiple of electronic charge i.e. $\displaystyle Q=\pm ne$

A parallel late condenser consists of two circular plate each of radius $8cm$ separated by a distance of $2mm$. It is charged by an external source, with a constant charging current of $0.15$ A. The displacement.curcent is

  1. $0.10A$

  2. $0.15A$

  3. $0.20A$

  4. $0.30A$


Correct Option: A

Choose best option about cavity for a charged metallic sphere: 

  1. Net field inside the cavity is zero

  2. Net field inside the metal is non-zero constant

  3. Potential inside the metal is constant

  4. Potential outside metal is constant


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Inside the cavity of charged measure sphere net electric field is non zero constant.

$\therefore $ Option $A$ is correct.

Two charges 2$\mathrm { uC }$ and 1$\mathrm { \mu }C$ are placed at adistance of 10$\mathrm { cm }$ . The position of the third charge from2$\mu \mathrm { C }$ between them so that it does not experience any force

  1. $7cm$

  2. $2cm$

  3. $5.858cm$

  4. $8cm$


Correct Option: C

An infinite number of charges each equal to q coulomb are placed along x-axis at x 1, x = 2, x= 8. so on the potential and electric field at x =0 due to this arrangement is

  1. $\dfrac { q } { 2 \pi \varepsilon _ { 0 } } , \dfrac { 3 q } { 4 \pi \varepsilon _ { 0 } }$

  2. $\dfrac { q } { 2 \pi \varepsilon _ { 0 } } \cdot \frac { q } { 3 \pi \varepsilon _ { 0 } }$

  3. $\dfrac { 2 q } { \pi \varepsilon _ { 0 } } , \dfrac { q } { 3 \pi \varepsilon _ { 0 } }$

  4. $\dfrac { q \varepsilon _ { 0 } } { \pi 2 } , \dfrac { q E _ { 0 } } { 3 \pi }$


Correct Option: B

The energy of thermal neutrons is

  1. $< 1 \mathrm { ev }$

  2. $> 1 \mathrm { ev }$

  3. $= 2 \mathrm { Mev }$

  4. $= 4 \mathrm { Mev }$


Correct Option: A

The sum total of the number of electrons in a system may change. The statement is :

  1. true

  2. false

  3. ambiguous

  4. data insufficient


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The statement is true as electrons can be transferred from one body to the other,  thereby changing the number in the system.  

Quantisation of charge implies :

  1. charge cannot be destroyed

  2. charge exists on particles

  3. there is a minimum permissible charge on a particle

  4. charge, which is a fraction of a charge on an electron is not possible


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Quantisation of Charge means that we say something has some charge , we mean by that that how many times the charge of electrons it has.  Because  whole charge is associated with an electron.

What is the amount of charge on an electron?

  1. 1.6 $\times 10^{19}$ coulomb

  2. 1.6 $\times 10^{-10}$ coulomb

  3. 1.6 $\times 10^{10}$ coulomb

  4. 1.6 $\times 10^{-19}$ coulomb


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The charge of an electron is, $e=1.6\times { 10 }^{ -19 }C$.
