Answer-(B)

When the two terminals of a battery are connected directly with a wire then:

physics electricity electric cells and batteries

  1. More electrical energy is stored in the cell

  2. The chemicals get used up very fast

  3. No current flows in the wire

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
When the two terminals of a battery are connected directly with a wire there will be a low resistance path for the current to flow. The wire will get heated a little bit (depends on the diameter of the wire less the diameter more heat) and the battery will be quickly discharged. During depletion, it may become very hot, emit gasses, and possibly explode. The shorting wires will draw heavy current that may melt the wire or even cause them to soften and break.

A charge is kept at the centre of a shell. Shell has charge Q uniformally distibuted over its surface and radius R. The force on the central charge due to the shell is :

applications of gauss's law coulomb's law physics

  1. towards left

  2. towards right

  3. upward

  4. zero

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Electric field at the centre of shell is zero when charge is uniformally distributed over surface of shell . 

Hence the force on the charge at the centre is zero.

The rupture of air medium occurs at $E=3\times 10^6 \ V/m$. The maximum charge that can be given to a sphere of diameter $5 \ m$ will be (in coulomb):

applications of gauss's law coulomb's law physics

  1. $2\times 10^{-2}$

  2. $2\times 10^{-3}$

  3. $2\times 10^{-4}$

  4. $2\times 10^{-5}$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Given, $E _o= 3 \times 10^6 \ V/m;$  Diameter of sphere $= 5 \ m$

Electric field on the surface of the sphere $= \cfrac {KQ}{R^2}$

$E _o= \cfrac {KQ}{R^2}$

$Q= \cfrac {R^2E^o}{K}= \cfrac {6.25 \times 3 \times 10^6}{9 \times 10^9}$

$= 2 \times 10^{-3}\ C$

A spherical shell of mass $m$ and radius $R$ filled completely with a liquid of same mass and set to rotate about a vertical axis through its centre has a moment of inertia ${I _1}$ about the axis$.$ The liquid starts leaking out of the hole at the buttom$.$ If moment of inertia of the system is ${I _2}$ when the shell is half filled and ${I _3}$ is the moment of inertia when entire water drained off$.$ then $:$

applications of gauss's law coulomb's law physics

  1. $\dfrac{{{I _1}}}{{{I _2}}} \approx 1.5$

  2. $\dfrac{{{I _{ _1}}}}{{{I _2}}} \approx 0.67$

  3. $\dfrac{{{I _1}}}{{{I _3}}} \approx 1.6$

  4. $\dfrac{{{I _2}}}{{{I _3}}} \approx 1.4$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Moment of inertia of a shell$,$ ${I _3} = \frac{2}{3}M{R^2}$ 

Moment of inertia of a completely filled sphere$,$ ${I _1} = \frac{2}{3}M{R^2} + \frac{2}{5}M{R^2} = \frac{{16}}{{15}}M{R^2}$ 
Moment of inertia of a half sphere$,$ ${I _2} = \frac{2}{3}M{R^2} + \frac{2}{5}\frac{M}{2}{R^2} = \frac{{26}}{{30}}M{R^2}$
Hence,
option $(C)$is correct answer.

Gravity Force Inside a Spherical Shell. The net gravitational force on a point mass inside a spherical shell of mass is identically zero! Physically, this is a very important result because any spherically symmetric mass distribution outside the position of the test mass m can be build up as a series of such shells
