Question
Two spherical, nonconducting, and very thin shells of uniformly distributed positive charge $Q$ and radius d are located a distance $10d$ from each other. A positive point charge $q$ is placed inside one of the shells at a distance $d/2$ from the center, on the line connecting the centers of the two shells, as shown in the figure. What is the net force on the charge $q $ ?

Answer

Electric force on charge $q$ due to sphre $A$ is zero.

But electric force due to sphere $B$ on charge $q$ is

$\mathrm{F}=\frac{9 Q}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}\left(\frac{19}{2} \mathrm{d}\right)^{2}}$ towards left

$=\frac{\mathrm{qQ}}{361 \pi \varepsilon_{0} \mathrm{d}^{2}}$ towards left

In an experiment to determine the acceleration due to gravity $g$, the formula used for the time period of a periodic motion is $T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{7(R-r)}{5 g}}$. The values of $R$ and $r$ are measured to be $(60 \pm 1) \mathrm{mm}$ and $(10 \pm 1) \mathrm{mm}$, respectively. In five successive measurements, the time period is found to be $0.52 \mathrm{~s}, 0.56 \mathrm{~s}, 0.57 \mathrm{~s}, 0.54 \mathrm{~s}$ and $0.59 \mathrm{~s}$.
