A disk of radius \(\frac{a}{4}\) having a uniformly distributed charge \(6 \mathrm{C}\) is placed in the \(x-y\) plane with its centre at \(\left(\frac{-a}{2}, 0,0\right)\). A rod of length a carrying a uniformly distributed charge \(8 \mathrm{C}\) is placed on the \(x\)-axis from \(x=\frac{a}{4}\) to \(x=\frac{5 a}{4}\). Two point charges \(-7 \mathrm{C}\) and \(3 \mathrm{C}\) are placed at \(\left(\frac{a}{4}, \frac{-a}{4}, 0\right)\) and \(\left(\frac{-3 a}{4}, \frac{3 a}{4}, 0\right)\), respectively. Consider a cubical surface formed by six surfaces \(x=\pm \frac{a}{2}, y=\pm \frac{a}{2}, z=\pm \frac{a}{2}\).
The electric flux through this cubical surface is

- A \(\frac{-2 C}{\varepsilon_0}\)
- B \(\frac{2 C}{\varepsilon_0}\)
- C \(\frac{10 C}{\varepsilon_0}\)
- D \(\frac{12 C}{\varepsilon_0}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\frac{-2 C}{\varepsilon_0}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Total enclosed charge as already shown is
\(
q_{\text {net }}=\frac{6 C}{2}+\frac{8 C}{4}-7 C=-2 C
\)
From Gauss-theorem, net flux,
\(
\varphi_{\text {net }}=\frac{q_{\text {net }}}{\varepsilon_0}=\frac{-2 C}{\varepsilon_0}
\)
\(
q_{\text {net }}=\frac{6 C}{2}+\frac{8 C}{4}-7 C=-2 C
\)
From Gauss-theorem, net flux,
\(
\varphi_{\text {net }}=\frac{q_{\text {net }}}{\varepsilon_0}=\frac{-2 C}{\varepsilon_0}
\)

JEE Advanced 2016 Hard - Paragraph :
When liquid medicine of density \(\rho\) is to be put in the eye, it is done with the help of a dropper. As the bulb on the top of the dropper is pressed, a drop forms at the opening of the dropper. We wish to estimate the size of the drop.
We first assume that the drop formed at the opening is spherical because that requires a minimum increase in its surface energy. To determine the size, we calculate the net vertical force due to the surface tension \(T\) when the radius of the drop is \(R\). When this force becomes smaller than the weight of the drop, the drop gets detached from the dropper.
Question :
If the radius of the opening of the dropper is \(r\), the vertical force due to the surface tension on the drop of radius \(R\) (assuming \(r< < R\) ) isJEE Advanced 2010 Medium - 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.
