  64. Q- A molecule of a substance has a permanent electric dipole moment of magnitude 10–29 C m. A mole of this substance is polarised (at low temperature) by applying a strong electrostatic field of magnitude 106 V m–1. The direction of the field is suddenly changed by an angle of 60º. Estimate the heat released by the substance in aligning its dipoles along the new direction of the field. For simplicity, assume 100% polarisation of the sample. Please post the answer to this. As per my calculation Change in PE= Uf-Ui=3J. Thus there is a net increase in potential energy of the dipoles. Hence we should supply 3 J of energy as heat, for the material to align its dipoles. I don't think that the substance will release any heat, I think it should absorb 3J of heat from the surroundings.

  66. I am not getting one thing. Yes I Got it m1v1=m2v2 by conservation of momentum. But. Thinking logically as both were released at rest at same time. Force acting on both due to each other is same [[ independent on mass..(kq1q2/r^2) ]]. Means acceleration is same. Means change in velocity should be same. So V1 = V2 ! Where did I commit a mistake. Please HELP !?
    7 years ago by Nachiketa Dev Sharma
    Ans 1 ->
    Force is same but masses are not same so acclerations are not same so change in velocities are are not same.

I mean if both works done on charge are equal and opposite how energy is gained by the charge?

    8 years ago by payal singhal
    Ans 1 ->
    i mean to say same speed..sorry for wrong interpretation.
    8 years ago by payal singhal
    Ans 2 ->
    The three balls are initially placed at rest. Then all of them are under the effect of same amount of force ( KQ^2/R^2) We know that F=MA ! Since mass is also same. Accelereation effect is indeed same as well. Now you can't do momentum conservation because (Velocity being a vector) and we need to resolve it in directions and all. Thus energy conservation is used. Had masses been different so would be velocity.

  102. A conducting liquid bubble of radius a and thickness t(t less less than a)is charged to potential V. If the bubble collapses to a droplet find the potential of the droplet.
    8 years ago by Parth Arora
    Ans 1 ->
    Assuming you are asking potential at the surface of drop....let charge provided to bubble be q....therefore k*q/(a+t) =V....here you may neglect t...from this find value of charge.. then use volume conservation. Since t is small volume of bubble = internal surface area *t.....4pi a^2 = 4/3pi*r^3...find r and input the value of r and q in the formula of potential due to solid sphere kq/2r^3 (3r^2-x^2)

    9 years ago by ameyayerpude
    Ans 1 ->
    You can find the electric field outside the sphere as q/(4*pi*eo*r^2) and inside the shell material as q/(4*pi*eo*er*r^2) and use integration (E.dr) from inf to r2 then from r2 to r to get the potential at point c.

    9 years ago by Mohit Kuri
    Ans 1 ->
    Its a qualitative term when we talk in numbers... quantitatively its representing electric field by its density (per m^2) through a surface... Like power of a bulb represents more number of light rays but these cannot be counted and we can say as bulb power increases no of light rays of density of light rays emitted by bulb increase...
