- MCQ
What will be the magnitude of electric field at point \(O\) as shown in figure ? Each side of the figure is \(I\) and perpendicular to each other.

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{q}{(2l^{2})}(2 \sqrt{2}-1)\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Electric field for point charge
\(E_{1}=\frac{k q}{\ell^{2}}=E_{2}\)
\(E_{3}=\frac{k q}{(\sqrt{2} \ell)^{2}}=\frac{k q}{2 \ell^{2}}\)
\(E=\frac{\sqrt{2} k q}{\ell^{2}}-\frac{k q}{2 \ell^{2}}=\frac{k q}{2 \ell^{2}}(2 \sqrt{2}-1)\)

- Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : With the increase in the pressure of an ideal gas, the volume falls off more rapidly in an isothermal process in comparison to the adiabatic process.
Reason (R) : In isothermal process, \(\mathrm{PV}=\) constant, while in adiabatic process \(\mathrm{PV}^\gamma=\) constant. Here \(\gamma\) is the ratio of specific heats, P is the pressure and V is the volume of the ideal gas.
