JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 2. Electric potential and capacitance

The potential (in volts ) of a charge distribution is given by \(V(z)\, = \,30 - 5{z^2}for\,\left| z \right| \le 1\,m\) \(V(z)\, = \,35 - 10\,\left| z \right|for\,\left| z \right| \ge 1\,m\) \(V(z)\)  does not depend on \(x\)  and  \(y.\)  If this potential is generated by a constant charge per unit volume \(\rho _0\) (in units of \(\varepsilon _0\) ) which is spread over a certain region, then choose the correct statement

  1. A \({\rho _0}\, = \,20\,{\varepsilon _0}\) in the entire region
  2. B \({\rho _0}\, = \,10\,{\varepsilon _0}\) for \(\left| z \right|\, \le 1\,\,m\)  and \(P_0 = 0\) elsewhere
  3. C \({\rho _0}\, = \,20\,{\varepsilon _0}\) for \(\left| z \right|\, \le 1\,\,m\)  and \(P_0 = 0\) elsewhere
  4. D \({\rho _0}\, = \,40\,{\varepsilon _0}\) in the entire region
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \({\rho _0}\, = \,10\,{\varepsilon _0}\) for \(\left| z \right|\, \le 1\,\,m\)  and \(P_0 = 0\) elsewhere

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Sigma_{1}=\frac{-d v}{d r}=10|z|\) \(\Sigma_{2}=\frac{-\mathrm{dv}}{\mathrm{dr}}=10 \quad(\text { constant : } \mathrm{E})\) \(\therefore \) The source is an infinity large non conducting thick plate of thickness \(2\, \mathrm{m}\).…
