Electric Charges and Fields · Question 2

Two co-axial conducting cylinders of same length with radii 2R and 2R are kept, as shown in Fig. 1. The charge on the inner cylinder is Q and the outer cylinder is grounded. The annular region between the cylinders is filled with a material of dielectric constant =5. Consider an imaginary plane of the same length at a distance R from the common axis of the cylinders. This plane is parallel to the axis of the cylinders. The cross-sectional view of this arrangement is shown in Fig. 2. Ignoring edge effects, the flux of the electric field through the plane is ( 0 is the permittivity of free space): [figure]

Six infinitely large and thin non-conducting sheets are fixed in configurations I and II. As shown in the figure, the sheets carry uniform surface charge densities which are indicated in terms of 0. The separation between any two consecutive sheets is 1 . The various regions between the sheets are denoted as 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. If 0=9 C/m2, then which of the following statements is/are correct: (Take permittivity of free space 0=9 10-12 F/m) [figure]

A small electric dipole p0, having a moment of inertia I about its center, is kept at a distance r from the center of a spherical shell of radius R. The surface charge density is uniformly distributed on the spherical shell. The dipole is initially oriented at a small angle as shown in the figure. While staying at a distance r, the dipole is free to rotate about its center. [figure] If released from rest, then which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct? [ 0 is the permittivity of free space.]

1. The dipole will undergo small oscillations at any finite value of r.
2. The dipole will undergo small oscillations at any finite value of r > R.

4. The dipole will undergo small oscillations with an angular frequency of p0100 0 I at r = 10R.

A charge is kept at the central point P of a cylindrical region. The two edges subtend a half-angle at P, as shown in the figure. When = 30 , then the electric flux through the curved surface of the cylinder is . If = 60 , then the electric flux through the curved surface becomes / n, where the value of n is . [figure]
