8) Explain the Question:

Two fixed charges −q are at (0, a) and (0, −a). A positive charge Q is released from rest at (2a,
0). Predict the nature of its motion.
Concept (Law Used):

Electrostatic force and potential symmetry

Solution :

The resultant force is

FR = 2Fcosθ

Since FR is not proportional to x, the motion is NOT simple harmonic. The charge Q will
accelerate till the origin and gain velocity. At the origin the net force is zero but due to
momentum it will cross the origin and more towards left.
As it comes on negative x-axis, the force is again towards the origin.

Explaining the Question :-

A point charge q and a conducting neutral sphere placed as shown we have to calculate the
potential at point P due to induced charge.
Concept:-
This question is based on Conductor analysis.
Solution :-

As we know, the potential at each point of conductor remains same i.e.

0
VP = V =
[For point 'O' the induced charges non-uniformly or sphere but the potential at 'O' would be
zero due to induced charges.]

20) Explain Question:

Find the net dipole moment of a ring with varying charge density.

Concept:
Electric Dipole Moment for continuous charge.

Solution:
The charge density λ = λ0 cos θ shows symmetry. The total charge on the ring is zero, so a net
dipole moment exists. Due to the cos θ distribution, the vertical components (y – axis) cancel
out, while the horizontal components (x – axis) add up.

Calculation:
Consider a small element dl = Rdθ with charge dq = λdl = (λ0 cosθ)Rdθ.
The x – component of the dipole moment is dpx = dq . x = (λ0 cosθRdθ)(R cos θ).

A = {1,2,3,4}. As (4,4) ∉ R so not reflexive

Also not transitive

67) The given relation may be written in set builder form as

R = {(a, b) : a – b divided by n and a, b ∈ Z}
As a – a = 0 and 0 divided by n
∴ (a, a) ∈ R
∴ R is reflexive
Let a, b ∈ Z such that (a, b) ∈ R
Then (a, b) ∈ R ⇒ a – b divided by n.
a – b = nk for some integer k
⇒ b – a = n(– k)
∴ (a, b) ∈ R ⇒ (b, a) ∈ R
∴ R is symmetric
Now, (a, b), (b, c) ∈ R
Now, a – b = nc1 and b – c = nc2 for some integers c1 and c2.
∴ (a – b) + (b – c) = n(c1 + c2)
⇒ a – c = nk, where k = c1 + c2, an integer.
⇒ (a, c) ∈ R.
∴ (a, b), (b, c) ∈ R ⇒ (a, c) ∈ R
∴ R is transitive and hence R is an equivalence relation.
