Q 1 | The electric potential is constant throughout a given region of space. Is the electric field zero or non-zero in this region? Explain. See answer |
Q 2 | If a point charge q of mass m is released in a non-uniform electric field with field lines pointing in the same direction, will it make a rectilinear motion? See answer |
Q 3 | What is the relationship between voltage and energy? More precisely, what is the relationship between potential difference and electric potential energy? See answer |
Q 4 | Voltage is always measured between two points. Why? See answer |
Q 5 | How are the units of volt and electron volt related? How do they differ? See answer |
Q 6 | In what region of space is the potential due to a nuiform closed sphere the same as that of a point charge? In what region it differs from that of a point charge? See answer |
Q 7 | Can the potential of a non-uniformly charged sphere be the same as that of a point charge? Explain. See answer |
Q 8 | What is equipotential line and equipotential surfaces? See answer |
Q 9 | Can different equipotential lines cross each other? See answer |
Q 10 | Water has a large dielectric constant but it is rarely used in capacitors. Explain why? See answer |
Q 11 | A capacitor is connected in series with a resistor and charged. Explain why the potential difference across the resistor decreases with time during charging? See answer |
Q 12 | Sketch the graph of potential difference against time for (a) discharge of a capacitor (b) charging of a capacitor. See answer |
Q 13 | Compare the formula for capacitors in series and parallel with those for resistors in series and parallel. See answer |
Q 14 | Explain why capacitors are of little use for the storing of energy for normal domestic purposes of lightning, heating and so on. See answer |
