A spherical portion has been removed from a solid sphere having a charge distributed uniformly in its volume as shown in the figure. The electric field inside the emptied space is

- A zero everywhere
- B non-zero and uniform
- C non-uniform
- D zero only at its centre
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) non-zero and uniform
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Inside the cavity, field at any point is uniform and non-zero. Therefore, correct option is (b).

- Two large circular discs separated by a distance of are connected to a battery via a switch as shown in the figure. Charged oil drops of density are released through a tiny hole at the centre of the top disc. Once some oil drops achieve terminal velocity, the switch is closed to apply a voltage of across the discs. As a result, an oil drop of radius stops moving vertically and floats between the discs. The number of electrons present in this oil drop is __________. (neglect the buoyancy force, take acceleration due to gravity and charge on an electron (e) )

\(\mathbf{P}_{17 \text { - } 19}\) : Paragraph for Questions Nos. 17 to 19 Two discs \(A\) and \(B\) are mounted coaxially on a vertical axle. The discs have moments of inertia I and 2I, respectively about the common axis. Disc \(A\) is imparted an initial angular velocity \(2 \omega\) using the entire potential energy of a spring compressed by a distance \(x_1\). Disc \(B\) is imparted an angular velocity \(\omega\) by a spring having the same spring constant and compressed by a distance \(x_2\). Both the discs rotate in the clockwise direction.Question:

JEE Advanced 2011 Easy - A pendulum consists of a bob of mass \(m=0.1 \mathrm{~kg}\) and a massless inextensible string of length \(L=1.0 \mathrm{~m}\). It is suspended from a fixed point at height \(H=0.9 \mathrm{~m}\) above a frictionless horizontal floor. Initially, the bob of the pendulum is lying on the floor at rest vertically below the point of suspension. A horizontal impulse \(P=0.2 \mathrm{~kg}-\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\) is imparted to the bob at some instant. After the bob slides for some distance, the string becomes taut and the bob lifts off the floor. The magnitude of the angular momentum of the pendulum about the point of suspension just before the bob lifts off is \(J \mathrm{~kg}-\mathrm{m}^{2} / \mathrm{s}\). The kinetic energy of the pendulum just after the liftoff is \(K\) Joules.
