It pierces a thin non-conducting spherical shell of radius in such a way that the arc subtends an angle at the centre of the spherical shell, as shown in the figure. The permittivity of free space is . Which of the following statements is (are) true?

- A The electric flux through the shell is
- B The z - component of the electric field is zero at all the points on the surface of the shell
- C The electric flux through the shell is
- D The electric field is normal to the surface of the shell at all points
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) The z - component of the electric field is zero at all the points on the surface of the shell

- Paragraph :
A uniform thin cylindrical disk of mass \(M\) and radius \(R\) is attached to two identical massless springs of spring constant \(k\) which are fixed to the wall as shown in the figure. The springs are attached to the axle of the disk symmetrically on either side at a distance \(d\) from its centre. The axle is massless and both the springs and the axle are in a horizontal plane. The unstretched length of each spring is \(L\). The disk is initially at its equilibrium position with its centre of mass \((C M)\) at a distance Lfrom the wall. The disk rolls without slipping with velocity \(\mathbf{v}_0=v_0 \hat{\mathbf{i}}\) The coefficient of friction is \(\mu\).
