Chapter 1 Electric Charges And Fields Class 12 Physics Assignment


1 MARK QUESTIONS

Question. Ordinary rubber is an insulator. But the special rubber tyres of aircrafts are made slightly conducting. Why is this necessary?
Answer. During landing the tyres of aircrafts may get highly charged due to friction between tyres and the air strip. If the tyres are made slightly conducting they will lose the charge to the earth otherwise too much of static electricity accumulated may produce spark and result in fire.

Question. Two charges q1 and q2 separated by a small distance satisfy the equation q1+q2 = 0. What does it tell about the charges?
Answer. The equation signifies that the electric charges are algebraically addictive and here q1 and q2 are equal and opposite.

Question. Name the experiment which established the quantum nature of electric charges?
Answer. Millikan’s oil drop experiment for determining electronic charge.

Question. Can a body have a charge of 0.8x10-19 C? Justify your answer by comment.
Answer. The charge on anybody is always an integral multiple of e here ,
N = q/e=(0.8x10-19 C)/1.6x10-19 C
This is not an integer .so a body cannot have a charge of 0.8x10-19 C

Question. Two equal balls having equal positive charge ‘q’ coulombs are suspended by two insulating strings of equal length. What would be the effect on the force when a plastic sheet is inserted between the two?
Answer. The force between the two balls decrease because K( plastic ) > 1 and F =1/K


2 MARK QUESTIONS

Question. Explain the meaning of the statement ‘electric charge of a body is ‘quantized’.
Answer. Electric charge of a body is quantized. This means that only integral (1, 2, ...., n) number of electrons can be transferred from one body to the other. Charges are not transferred in fraction.
Hence, a body possesses total charge only in integral multiples of electric charge

Question. Why can one ignore quantization of electric charge when dealing with macroscopic i.e., large scale charges?
Answer. 
In macroscopic or large-scale charges, the charges used are huge as compared to the magnitude of electric charge. Hence, quantization of electric charge is of no use on macroscopic scale. Therefore,it is ignored and it is considered that electric charge is continuous.

Question. When a glass rod is rubbed with a silk cloth, charges appear on both. A similar phenomenon is observed with many other pairs of bodies. Explain how this observation is consistent with the law of conservation of charge.
Answer. 
When two bodies are rubbed with each other transfer of charge takes place. One body receives charge and other loses, becoming negatively and positively charged respectively. In the whole process no new charge is created or destroyed. This implies that in an isolated system the total charge is always conserved.

Question. Four-point charges qA = 2 μC, qB = –5 μC, qC = 2 μC, and qD = –5 μC are located at the corners of a square ABCD of side 10 cm. What is the force on a charge of 1 μC placed at the center of the square?
Answer. 
The charges of equal magnitude and same sign are at the corners of same diagonal. So they will exhibit equal and opposite forces at the charge situated at center, cancelling out each other. So, the force is zero Newton.


LONG ANSWER QUESTIONS

Question. Define electric flux and write its SI unit. The electric field components in the figure shown are :
Ex = αx, Ey = 0, Ez = 0 where α = 100N/cm. Calculate the charge within the cube, assuming a = 0.1m.

CBSE Class 12 Physics Electric Charges And Field

Answer. Electric Flux is the dot product of the electric field and area vector.
Φ = ∮𝐸⃗ds→ SI
Unit: Nm2/C or Vm
For a given case
Φ = Φ1 – Φ2 = [Ex(atx= 2a) – Ex (atx = a)]a2
= [α(2a)-α(a)]a2 = αa3
= 104 × (0.1 )3 = 10 Nm2/C
But
Φ = qε0
∴ q = ε0Φ
= 8.854 × 10-12 × 10 C = 8.54 pC

CASE STUDY QUESTIONS 

1. Electric Charge: When a glass rod is rubbed with silk, the rod acquires one kind of charge and the silk acquires the second kind of charge. This is true for any pair of objects that are rubbed to be electrified. Now if the electrified glass rod is brought in contact with silk, with which it was rubbed, they no longer attract each other. They also do not attract or repel other light objects as they did on being electrified. Thus, the charges acquired after rubbing are lost when the charged bodies are brought in contact. What can you conclude from these observations? It just tells us that unlike charges acquired by the objects neutralise or nullify each other’s effect. Therefore, the charges were named as positive and negative by the American scientist Benjamin Franklin. We know that when we add a positive number to a negative number of the same magnitude, the sum is zero. This might have been the philosophy in naming the charges as positive and negative. By convention, the charge on glass rod or cat’s fur is called positive and that on plastic rod or silk is termed negative. If an object possesses an electric charge, it is said to be electrified or charged. When it has no charge it is said to be electrically neutral

Question. When you charge a balloon by rubbing it on your hair this is an example of what method of charging?
(a) Friction
(b) Conduction
(c) Grounding

Answer. A

Question. Neutral atoms contain equal numbers of positive __ and negative __.

Question. During charging by rubbing which of the following is not true?
(a) Mass is conserved
(b) charge is conserved
(c) mass of each object is conserved
(d) Net charge before and after rubbing is zero
Answer. C

Question. If a negatively charged rod touches a conductor, the conductor will be charged by what method?
(a) Friction
(b) Conduction
(c) Induction
(d) Convection
Answer. B

Question. If we bring charged plastic rod near-neutral aluminium rod, then rods will
(a) Repel each other
(b) Attract each other
(c) Remain their position
(d) Exchange charges
Answer. B


2. Electric Dipole: The electric field due to a charge configuration with total charge zero is not zero, but for distances large compared to the size of the configuration, its field falls off faster than 1/r2 , typical of the field due to a single charge. An electric dipole is the simplest example of this fact. An electric dipole is a pair of equal and opposite charges +q and -q separated by some distance 2a. Its dipole moment vector p has magnitude 2qa and is in the direction of the dipole axis from -q to +q. The electric field of the pair of charges can be found out from Coulomb’s law and the superposition principle. The magnitude and the direction of the dipole field depend not only on the distance r but also on the angle between the position vector r and the dipole moment p. In some molecules, like H2O, the centers of -ve charges and of +ve charges do not coincide. So they have permanent dipole moment. Such molecules are called polar molecules.

Question. What will be the value of electric field at the centre of the electric dipole?
(a) Zero
(b) Equal to the electric field due to one charge at Centre
(c) Twice the electric field due to one charge at Centre
(d) Half the value of electric field due to one charge at Centre
Answer. C

Question. If r is the distance of a point from the Centre of a short dipole, then the electric field intensity due to the short dipole remains proportional to
(a) r2
(b) r3
(c) r-2
(d) r-3
Answer. D

Question. An electric dipole coincides on Z-axis and its midpoint is on origin of the coordinate system. The electric field at an axial point at a distance z from origin is Ez and electric field at an equatorial point at a distance y from origin is Ey. Here z=y>>a, so |Ez|/|Ey| is equal to…
(a)1
(b)4
(c) 3
(d) 2
Answer. D

Question. An electric dipole of moment p is placed in a uniform electric field E. The maximum torque experienced by the dipole is…
(a) pE
(b) p/E
(c) E/p
(d) p . E
Answer. A

Question. An electric dipole is placed in a uniform electric field parallel to the field
(a) It experiences a force and moves parallel to the field
(b) It experiences a torque and moves in a circular path
(c) It experiences no force and no torque and remains at rest
(d) It experiences force as well as torque and has translatory and rotational motion
Answer. C
