Two infinitely long parallel wires having linear charge densities $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ respectively are placed at a distance of $R$ meters. The force per unit length on either wire will be $(K = \frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0})$.

  • A
    $K\frac{2\lambda_1\lambda_2}{R^2}$
  • B
    $K\frac{2\lambda_1\lambda_2}{R}$
  • C
    $K\frac{\lambda_1\lambda_2}{R^2}$
  • D
    $K\frac{\lambda_1\lambda_2}{R}$

The electrostatic potential inside a charged spherical ball is given by $\Phi = a r^2 + b$,where $r$ is the distance from the centre and $a, b$ are constants. Then,the charge density inside the ball is ($\varepsilon_0 =$ permittivity in free space).

At a distance $l$ from a uniformly charged long wire, a charged particle is thrown radially outward with a velocity $u$ in the direction perpendicular to the wire. When the particle reaches a distance $2l$ from the wire, its speed is found to be $\sqrt{2}u$. The magnitude of the velocity, when it is a distance $4l$ away from the wire is (ignore gravity)

An electron is moving under the influence of the electric field of a uniformly charged infinite plane sheet $S$ having surface charge density $+\sigma$. The electron at $t=0$ is at a distance of $1 \,m$ from $S$ and has a speed of $1 \,m/s$. The maximum value of $\sigma$ if the electron strikes $S$ at $t=1 \,s$ is $\alpha \left[ \frac{m \epsilon_0}{e} \right] \,C/m^2$. The value of $\alpha$ is:
