Two beads, each with charge \(q\) and mass \(m\), are on a horizontal, frictionless, non-conducting, circular hoop of radius \(R\). One of the beads is glued to the hoop at some point, while the other one performs small oscillations about its equilibrium position along the hoop. The square of the angular frequency of the small oscillations is given by
[ \(\varepsilon_0\) is the permittivity of free space.]
- A \(q^2 /\left(4 \pi \varepsilon_0 R^3 m\right)\)
- B \(q^2 /\left(32 \pi \varepsilon_0 R^3 m\right)\)
- C \(q^2 /\left(8 \pi \varepsilon_0 R^3 m\right)\)
- D \(q^2 /\left(16 \pi \varepsilon_0 R^3 m\right)\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(q^2 /\left(32 \pi \varepsilon_0 R^3 m\right)\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation

Restoring force \(=\mathrm{qE} \sin \left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)\)
\(\begin{aligned} & \therefore \tau=\mathrm{qE} \sin \left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right) \mathrm{R}=\mathrm{I} \alpha \\ & \mathrm{E}=\frac{\mathrm{Kq}}{\left(2 \mathrm{R} \cos \frac{\theta}{2}\right)^2}=\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} \frac{\mathrm{q}}{4 \mathrm{R}^2 \cos ^2\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)} \\ & \therefore \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} \frac{\mathrm{qR}}{4 \mathrm{R}^2 \cos ^2\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)} \sin \left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right) \mathrm{q}=\mathrm{mR}^2 \alpha\end{aligned}\)
For \(\theta\) very small,
\(\begin{aligned} & \frac{-\mathrm{q}^2}{32 \pi \varepsilon_0 \mathrm{R}^3 \mathrm{~m}} \theta=\alpha \\ & \therefore \omega^2=\frac{\mathrm{q}^2}{32 \pi \varepsilon_0 \mathrm{mR}^3}\end{aligned}\)
Hence option (2)

- Paragraph:
The key feature of Bohr's theory of spectrum of hydrogen atom is the quantization of angular momentum when an electron is revolving around a proton. We will extend this to a general rotational motion to find quantized rotational energy of a diatomic molecule assuming it to be rigid. The rule to be applied is Bohr's quantization condition.

- 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

Redox reaction play a pivotal role in chemistry and biology. The values of standard redox potential \(\left(E^{\circ}\right)\) of two half-cell reactions decide which way the reaction is expected to proceed. A simple example is a Daniel cell in which zinc goes into solution and copper gets deposited. Given below are a set of half-cell reactions (acidic medium) along with their \(E^{\circ}(V\) with respect to normal hydrogen electrode) values.
