An electric dipole with dipole moment is held fixed at the origin in the presence of an uniform electric field of magnitude If the potential is constant on a circle of radius centered at the origin as shown in figure, then the correct statement(s) is/are:
( is permittivity of free space, dipole size)

- A
- B The magnitude of total electric field on any two points of the circle will be same
- C Total electric field at point is
- D Total electric field at point is
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Total electric field at point is
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Radius of circle, dipole size
As, circle is equipotential
So, should be to surface, so is correct
At point net electric field will be zero.
Electric field at point is incorrect
is correct

JEE Advanced 2021 Hard - A student performs an experiment to determine the Young's modulus of a wire, exactly \(2 \mathrm{~m}\) long, by Searle's method. In a particular reading, the student measures the extension in the length of the wire to be \(0.8 \mathrm{~mm}\) with an uncertainty of \(\pm 0.05 \mathrm{~mm}\) at a load of exactly \(1.0 \mathrm{~kg}\). The student also measures the diameter of the wire to be \(0.4 \mathrm{~mm}\) with an uncertainty of \(\pm 0.01 \mathrm{~mm}\). Take \(g=9.8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2\) (exact). The Young's modulus obtained from the reading isJEE Advanced 2007 Easy
- Put a uniform meter scale horizontally on your extended index fingers with the left one at and the right one at . When you attempt to move both the fingers slowly towards the center, initially only the left finger slips with respect to the scale and the right finger does not. After some distance, the left finger stops and the right one starts slipping. Then the right finger stops at a distance from the center of the scale and the left one starts slipping again. This happens because of the difference in the frictional forces on the two fingers. If the coefficients of static and dynamic friction between the fingers and the scale are and , respectively, the value of (in cm) is___________.JEE Advanced 2020 Medium

One twirls a circular ring (of mass \(M\) and radius \(R\) ) near the tip of one's finger as shown in Figure 1 . In the process the finger never loses contact with the inner rim of the ring. The finger traces out the surface of a cone, shown by the dotted line. The radius of the path traced out by the point where the ring and the finger is in contact is \(r\). The finger rotates with an angular velocity \(\omega_{0}\). The rotating ring rolls without slipping on the outside of a smaller circle described by the point where the ring and the finger is in contact (Figure 2). The coefficient of friction between the ring and the finger is \(\mu\) and the acceleration due to gravity is \(g\).

- When 100 mL of 1.0 M HCl was mixed with 100 mL of 1.0 M NaOH in an insulated beaker at constant pressure, a temperature increase of was measured for the beaker and its contents (Expt.1). Because the enthalpy of neutralization of a strong acid with a strong base is a constant , this experiment could be used to measure the calorimeter constant. In a second experiment (Expt. 2), 100 mL of 2.0 M acetic acid was mixed with 100 mL of 1.0 M NaOH (under identical conditions to Expt. 1) where a temperature rise of was measured.
