A long, hollow conducting cylinder is kept coaxially inside another long, hollow conducting cylinder of larger radius. Both the cylinders are initially electrically neutral.
- A a potential difference appears between the two cylinders when a charge density is given to the inner cylinder
- B a potential difference appears between the two cylinders when a charge density is given to the outer cylinder
- C no potential difference appears between the two cylinders when a uniform line charge is kept along the axis of the cylinders
- D no potential difference appears between the two cylinders when same charge density is given to both the cylinders
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) a potential difference appears between the two cylinders when a charge density is given to the inner cylinder
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
There will be an electric field between two cylinders (using Gauss theorem. This electric field will produce a potential difference.
\(\therefore\) Answer is (a).

- Paragraph I: In a Young's double slit experiment, each of the two slits A and B, as shown in the figure, are oscillating about their fixed center and with a mean separation of \(0.8 \mathrm{~mm}\). The distance between the slits at time \(t\) is given by \(d=(0.8+0.04 \sin \omega t) \mathrm{mm}\), where \(\omega=0.08 \mathrm{rad} \mathrm{s}^{-1}\). The distance of the screen from the slits is \(1 \mathrm{~m}\) and the wavelength of the light used to illuminate the slits is \(6000 Ã…\). The interference pattern on the screen changes with time, while the central bright fringe (zeroth fringe) remains fixed at point \(O\).

The \(8^{\text {th }}\) bright fringe above the point \(\mathrm{O}\) oscillates with time between two extreme positions. The separation between these two extreme positions, in micrometer \((\mu \mathrm{m})\), is ___________ .JEE Advanced 2024 Medium - Two non-reactive monoatomic ideal gases have their atomic masses in the ratio 2 : 3.

- Paragraph :
A special metal \(S\) conducts electricity without any resistance. A closed wire loop, made of \(S\), does not allow any change in flux through itself by inducing a suitable current to generate a compensating flux. The induced current in the loop cannot decay due to its zero resistance. This current gives rise to a magnetic moment which in turn repels the source of magnetic field or flux. Consider such a loop, of radius \(a\), with its center at the origin. A magnetic dipole of moment \(m\) is brought along the axis of this loop from infinity to a point at distance \(r(\gg a)\) from the center of the loop with its north pole always facing the loop, as shown in the figure below.
The magnitude of magnetic field of a dipole \(m\), at a point on its axis at distance \(r\), is \(\frac{\mu_{0}}{2 \pi} \frac{m}{r^{3}}\), where \(\mu_{0}\) is the permeability of free space. The magnitude of the force between two magnetic dipoles with moments, \(m_{1}\) and \(m_{2}\), separated by a distance \(r\) on the common axis, with their north poles facing each other, is \(\frac{k m_{1} m_{2}}{r^{4}}\), where \(k\) is a constant of appropriate dimensions. The direction of this force is along the line joining the two dipoles.
