An infinite non-conducting sheet has a surface charge density $2 \times 10^{-7} \text{ C/m}^2$ on one side. The distance between two equipotential surfaces whose potential difference is $90 \text{ V}$ is (assume $\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \text{ Nm}^2/\text{C}^2$):

  • A
    $20 \pi \text{ mm}$
  • B
    $\frac{25}{\pi} \text{ mm}$
  • C
    $\frac{12.5}{\pi} \text{ mm}$
  • D

$(a)$ Show that the normal component of the electrostatic field has a discontinuity from one side of a charged surface to another given by $(E_2 - E_1) \cdot \hat{n} = \frac{\sigma}{\varepsilon_0}$, where $\hat{n}$ is a unit vector normal to the surface at a point and $\sigma$ is the surface charge density at that point. (The direction of $\hat{n}$ is from side $1$ to side $2$.) Hence, show that just outside a conductor, the electric field is $\frac{\sigma \hat{n}}{\varepsilon_0}$. $(b)$ Show that the tangential component of the electrostatic field is continuous from one side of a charged surface to another.

$A$ uniform rod $AB$ of mass $m$ and length $l$ is hinged at its midpoint $C$. The left half $(AC)$ of the rod has linear charge density $-\lambda$ and the right half $(CB)$ has $+\lambda$,where $\lambda$ is constant. $A$ large non-conducting sheet of uniform surface charge density $\sigma$ is also present near the rod. Initially,the rod is kept perpendicular to the sheet. The end $A$ of the rod is initially at a distance $d$. Now,the rod is rotated by a small angle $\theta$ in the plane of the paper and released. The time period of small angular oscillations is:
