Perpendiculars are drawn from points on the line to the plane . The feet of perpendiculars lie on the line
- A
- B
- C
- D
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The equation od given line is
Now any two points on this line are
for
Let foot of perpendicular from on plane is
Also the point lies on the plane, hence
Hence the coordinates of are
Similarly foot of perpendicular from on plane is N
So the required equation of MN is

JEE Advanced 2008 Easy - Paragraph :
Consider an evacuated cylindrical chamber of height \(h\) having rigid conducting plates at the ends and an insulating curved surface as shown in the figure. A number of spherical balls made of a light weight and soft material and coated with a conducting material are placed on the bottom plate. The balls have a radius \(r \ll h\). Now a high voltage source \((HV)\) is connected across the conducting plates such that the bottom plate is at \(+V_{0}\) and the top plate at \(-V_{0} .\) Due to their conducting surface, the balls will get charged, will become equipotential with the plate and are repelled by it. The balls will eventually collide with the top plate, where the coefficient of restitution can be taken to be zero due to the soft nature of the material of the balls. The electric field in the chamber can be considered to be that of a parallel plate capacitor. Assume that there are no collisions between the balls and the interaction between them is negligible.
