A point charge is placed just outside an imaginary hemispherical surface of radius R as shown in the figure. Which of the following statements is/are correct?

- A The circumference of the flat surface is an equipotential
- B The electric flux passing through the curved surface of the hemisphere is
- C Total flux through the curved and the flat surfaces is
- D The component of the electric field normal to the flat surface is constant over the surface
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) The electric flux passing through the curved surface of the hemisphere is
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Every point on circumference of flat surface is at equal distance from point charge Hence circumference is equipotential.

- Paragraph:
Modern trains are based on Maglev technology in which trains are magnetically leviated, which runs its EDS Maglev system.
There are coils on both sides of wheels. Due to motion of train, current induces in the coil of track which levitate it. This is in accordance with Lenz's law. If trains lower down then due to Lenz's law a repulsive force increases due to which train gets uplifted and if it goes much high then there is a net downward force disc to gravity. The advantage of Maglev train is that there is no friction between the train and the track, thereby reducing power consumption and enabling the train to attain very high speeds.
Disadvantage of Maglev train is that as it slows down the electromagnetic forces decreases and it becomes difficult to keep it leviated and as it moves forward according to Lenz law, there is an electromagnetic drag force.
