MCQ
Variation in electric potential is maximum if one goes
  • along the line of force
  • B
    perpendicular to the line of force
  • C
    in any direction
  • D
    no variation in any direction

Answer

Correct option: A.
along the line of force
a
$\Delta \mathrm{V}=-\int \overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}} \cdot \mathrm{d} \overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}} \quad \therefore \Delta \mathrm{V} \propto \cos \theta$

$\Delta \mathrm{V}$ is max. for $\theta=0^{\circ}$ or $\theta=180^{\circ}$

An impulse laser may be treated as $a$ source ofphotons that are emitted during the time interval of the pulse which is followed by a time interval when no photons are produced. Pulses are periodically repeated. $A$ laser beam of diameter $d = 10$ microns is directed upward and is perpendicular to the thin foil surface which has an index of reflection $\rho = 0.50$ (see the sketch of the experiment). The index of reflection of the surface is the ratio of the reflected energy to the impact energy. $A$ pulse with duration of $0.13\, ms$ has a total energy of $10\, J$. What is the mass of the piece of foil that can be supported in the air solely by the light pressure of the laser beam?
