Is the electric field zero or non zero in this region? Explain. If potential is constant throughout region of space, then electric field is zero in that region as e=M aspotentialis constant soAV=0 then E= Suppose that you follow electric field field & potential increase or decrease. e due to positive point charge. Do electric clectric field given ast «> —-& potential vac> As electric field & potential varies inversely to distance from chargemiiGeas distance from positive charge is increasing so both E & V decreasing. How can you identify which plate is positively charged? By gold leaf experiment we can identify which plate is positivelvigharged. If we place plate of capacitor close to positively charge~lewtkascope leaf, divergence increase then it means that the plate is positively chaggmal® if divergence decreases, it means that plate is negatively charged. Describe the force or forces on a positively pottit eharge when placed b/w parallel plates {a) With similar & equal charges: Wheb @pbsitive point charge is placed b/w parallel plates with similar & equal charg@%-{0 force acts on charge b/e F = qoE . The magnitude of ‘E’ for both plategti-gayl but in opposite direction so net value of E = °. {b) With opposite & equal clilrees: When a positive point charge is placed b/w parallel plates of oppositely charge E is not zero & charge experience some force. Electric lines of forge 1peger cross. Why? Electric lines af fetae never cross each other b/c at single point E have only one direction. If #fam crosses at one point than it has more than one direction which is physicgllyliimpossible. Logic Academy If a paisiteafrarge q of mass m is released in a non uniform electric field, will it make regnilimear motion? Logic Acatemy eis point charge ‘a’ of mass ‘m’ is placed at any point in a non uniform field of a positive point charge, it will follow straight path along field line due to repulsive force. Logic Academy (b) In case of two or more charges the point charge will move along curved path. Is E necessarily zero inside a charged rubber balloon if balloon is spherical? Assume charge is distributed uniformly over the surface. Yes E is necessarily zero inside charged rubber balloon if balloon is spherical enclo: no charge but charge is distributed uniformly over surface. According to Gauss’s law; g = 2 Q-=O inside balloon So g=0 Shas g =EA=0 Where A#0 then E=0 Is it true that gauss’s law states that number of lines of force crossing any closed surface in the outward direction is proportional to the net positive charge enclosed within surface? Yes it is true that gauss’s law states that that the total number of lines of forces crossing any closed surface in the outward direction is proportional to the net charge enclosed within surface. & givenas @ OR gxQ rr) Do electrons tend to go to region of low potential or of high potential? Electrons tend to go to region of low potential (-ive taken as low) to regign of high potential (tive plate).
