CLASS - XII PHYSICS (Unit Electrostatics)

[ANSWERS]

FV
force between the charges in vaccuum
=
FM force between two charges in medium
FV

Fm =
k
if k increases, Fm decreases.

Ans 01.

Since K=

Ans 02.

Suppose rod P be negatively charged since it attracts rod R R is positively

charged since it repels rod Q Q is negatively charged. So force between Q and R
is attractive in nature.

Ans 03.

Since F = q E and a = F/m

Since charge on proton and electron are same but mass for electron is smaller,
hence force and acceleration experienced by an electron is greater.

Ans 04.

Two electric lines of force never intersect

each other because if they intersect then
at the point of intersection there will be
two tangents which is not possible as the
two tangents represents two directions
for electric field lines.

Ans 05.

Since F = qE

Ans 06.

Let P be the pt where test

charge (+qo) is present
then electric field at pt. P
will be zero if Field at pt. P

10a x = 3x

10a = 4x

x = 2.5 a from change (+q)

Or
10 a - x = 10a - 2.5a = 7.5a from change (+9q)

Ans 07.

Electric dipole moment is defined as the product of the magnitude of either charge
and the length of dipole.





P = q (2l )
Its S.I. unit is coulomb meter (cm)

Consider a dipole placed in uniform electric field and makes an angle ( ) with the


electric field E Since two forces acts on the charges constituting an electric

( )

dipole which are equal and opposite in direction, thus a torque acts on the dipole
which makes the dipole rotate.
And Torque = Ethier force X distance
Here force (F) = qE
And

= sin

BN = AB sin = 2 sin

( ) = qE x 2 sin





( ) = PE Sin ( P = q(2l ))
In vector form



= P E
