Statement-I: Acceleration of charged particle in non uniform electric field does not depend on veloicty of charged particle

Statement-II: charge is an invariant quantity, that is, amount of charge on particle doesn't depend on frame of referenced
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Statement-I is True, statement-II is True
Both statements are true. The acceleration of a charged particle in an electric field depends on the electric field and the charge, not the velocity. Charge is also an invariant quantity, meaning it doesn't change with the frame of reference.

Assertion (A): Using Gauss law, it is possible to find the electric field at any point.
Reason (R): Gauss law is applicable for any type of charge distribution.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
A is true but R is false
The correct answer is A (A is true but R is false) because Gauss's law provides a method to calculate the electric field, but it's only easily applicable for symmetric charge distributions.

Suppose we have a large number of indentical particles, very small in size. Any pair of them at 10 cm10 \mathrm{~cm} separation repel with a force of 3×10−10 N3 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~N}. If one particle of them is at 10 cm10 \mathrm{~cm} from a group of n\mathrm{n} others, how strongly do you expect it to be repelled?

3n×10−10 N3 \mathrm{n} \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~N}
Option B (3n×10−10N3n \times 10^{-10} N) is correct because the total force is the sum of the individual forces from each of the n particles.

Statement-1: A device used to measure E→\overrightarrow{{E}} is located a some distance from a fixed point charge. In this situation, the device measures E0E_0 as the magnitude of electric field intensity. Now an uncharged conducting sphere with a very small hole is lowered by an insulating thread so that it surrounds the point charge. Now, the reading of the device becomes zero.
Statement-2: Electrostatic shielding is the phenomenon in which inside of hollow conductor is shielded for outside electric field.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is false
Statement-1 is true because the electric field inside a conductor is zero. Statement-2 is false because electrostatic shielding is a true phenomenon.

A neutron, a proton and an electron are placed in a uniform electric field.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Magnitude of acceleration will be different.
The magnitude of acceleration will be different because the force on each particle depends on its charge, and the acceleration depends on both the force and the mass, which are different for each particle.

Which of the following statement is correct?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Electric field is non-zero on the axis of hollow current carrying wire

Assertion (A): Some charge is put at the centre of a conducting sphere. It will move to the surface of the sphere.

Reason (R): Conducting sphere has no free electrons at the centre.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Both A and R are true and R is the correct
explanation of A
Option A is correct because the charge will move to the surface due to repulsion between like charges, and the absence of free electrons at the center contributes to this movement.

Assertion: On bringing a positively charged rod near the uncharged conductor, the conductor gets attracted towards the rod.
Reason: The electric field on the surface of a conductor is directly proportional to the surface charge density at that point.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
If both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
The correct answer is B because both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason does not explain why the conductor is attracted to the rod. The attraction is due to induced charges.
