Multiple choice physics static electricity properties of charges charge properties of charge


When electric current passes through a bucket full of water , lot of bubbling is observed. This suggests that the type of supply is

  1. AC

  2. DC

  3. any of the above two

  4. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

When a dc current is passed through water, the electrolysis of water molecules $(H _{2}O)$ takes place i.e, water gets split into hydrogen and oxygen gases. The bubbles are these gases escaping.

Multiple choice physics static electricity properties of charges charge properties of charge

Charge separation can be affected by

  1. contact

  2. pressure

  3. heat

  4. charge
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A,D Correct answer
Explanation
Charge separation can be affected by -
(a) Contact
(b) Charge
Because contact of force will be affected for the charge separation and charge accumulation will be the affected of charge separation pressure and heat also.

During charge separation, there is a

  1. creation of charge

  2. creation of energy

  3. creation of charged particles

  4. creation of neutrons
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Charge separation is the process of exciting an electron in an atom to a higher energy level and then making it leave the atom to a hereby electron acceptor thus creating charged particle.

Multiple choice physics static electricity properties of charges charge properties of charge

A metal sphere has a charge of $- 6 \mu C$. When $5 \times 10^{12} $ electrons are removed from the sphere, what would be net charge on it?

  1. $-6.8 \mu C$

  2. $6.8 \mu C$

  3. $5.2 \mu C$

  4. $-5.2 \mu C$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Charge removed=$-e\times n=-1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 5\times 10^{12}=-8\times 10^{-7}=-0.8\mu C$


Hence, charge on sphere=$-6-(-0.8)=-5.2\mu C$

Answer-(D)

Multiple choice physics static electricity properties of charges charge properties of charge

Only the integral number of electrons which is transferred from one body to another, i.e. $\pm ne$. This is represented as

  1. Superposition of charge

  2. Quantisation of charge

  3. Conservation of charge

  4. Addition of charge
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The transfer of electrons from one body to other leads to charging of bodies. It is found that charge on any body is always equal to integral multiple of charge on electron. This property of charge is known as Quantisation of electric charge according to which, $Q=ne$
$Q=$ total charge transferred
$n=$ number of electrons transferred
$e=$ charge on one electron
$n=1, \pm 2.....$ and so on.

A copper slab of mass $2 g$ contains $2 \times 10^{22}$ atoms. The charge on the nucleus of each atom is $29 e$. What fraction of the electrons must be removed from the sphere to give it a charge of $+2\mu C$? 

  1. $58 \times 10^{22}$

  2. $1.25 \times 10^{13}$

  3. $2.16 \times 10^{11}$

  4. $2.16 \times 10^{-11}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
Given a mass of copper slab $=2\, g$ contains $2\times 10^{22}$ atoms.
Charge on nucleus of each atom $=29e$
We have to find the fraction of electrons that must be removed from sphere to give it $+2\mu C$ charge.
We solve it as follows:
Total number of electrons in sphere $=29\times 2\times 10^{22}$
Number of electrons $=\dfrac qe$
$=\dfrac{2\times 10^{-6}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}$
$=1.25\times 10^{13}$
Fraction of electrons removed $=\dfrac{1.25\times 10^{13}}{Total\; number \; of \;electrons \; in\; sphere}$
$=\dfrac{1.25\times 10^{13}}{29\times 2\times 10^{22}}$
$=2.16\times 10^{-11}$
