MCQ
Two identical charged spheres are suspended by strings of equal lengths. The strings make an angle $\theta$ with each other. When suspended in water the angle remains the same. If density of the material of the sphere is $1.5 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cc}$, the dielectric constant of water will be

(Take density of water $=1 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cc}$ )

  • A
    $4$
  • B
    $8$
  • C
    $7$
  • $3$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$3$
d
In air $\tan \frac{\theta}{2}=\frac{F}{m g}=\frac{q^2}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 \mathrm{r}^2 m g}$

In water $\tan \frac{\theta}{2}=\frac{\mathrm{F}^{\prime}}{\mathrm{mg}^{\prime}}=\frac{\mathrm{q}^2}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 \varepsilon_{\mathrm{r}} \mathrm{r}^2 \mathrm{mg}_{\text {eff }}}$

Equate both equations

$\varepsilon_0 g=\varepsilon_0 \varepsilon_{\mathrm{r}} \mathrm{g}\left[1-\frac{1}{1.5}\right]$

$\varepsilon_{\mathrm{T}}=3$

A block of mass $M$ has a circular cut with a frictionless surface as shown. The block rests on the horizontal frictionless surface of a fixed table. Initially the right edge of the block is at $x=0$, in a co-ordinate system fixed to the table. A point mass $m$ is released from rest at the topmost point of the path as shown and it slides down. When the mass loses contact with the block, its position is $\mathrm{x}$ and the velocity is $\mathrm{v}$. At that instant, which of the following options is/are correct?
