JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 2. Electric potential and capacitance
Three infinitely long wires with linear charge density \(\lambda\) are placed along the \(x-a x i s, y\)-axis and \(z-\) axis respectively. Which of the following denotes an equipotential surface?
- A \(x y z=\) constant
- B \(x y+y z+z x=\) constant
- C \(\left(x^2+y^2\right)\left(y^2+z^2\right)\left(z^2+x^2\right)=\) constant
- D \((x+y)(y+z)(z+x)=\) constant
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\left(x^2+y^2\right)\left(y^2+z^2\right)\left(z^2+x^2\right)=\) constant
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Potential due to an infinite wire is \(V=2 k \lambda \ln r\), where \(r\) is the distance from the wire. Taking the point in space \(P(x, y, z)\) Distance from wire along \(x\)-axis is \(r_x=\sqrt{y^2+z^2}\) Distance from wire along \(y\)-axis is \(r_y=\sqrt{x^2+z^2}\) Distance…
