Suppose the charge of a proton and an electron differ slightly. One of them is the other is If the net of electrostatic force and gravitational force between two hydrogen atoms placed at a distance (much greater than atomic size) apart is zero, then is of the order of (Given mass of hydrogen,
An electron falls from rest through a vertical distance in a uniform and vertically upward directed electric field . The direction of electric field is now reversed, keeping its magnitude the same. A proton is allowed to fall from rest in it through the same vertical distance . The time of fall of the electron, in comparison to the time of fall of the proton is
If a charged spherical conductor of radius has potential at a point distant from its centre, then the potential at a point distant from the centre will be
Two charges and are placed apart, as shown in the figure. A third charge is moved along the arc of a circle of radius from to . The change in the potential energy of the system is , where is:
Four points and are set at equal distance from the centre of a dipole as shown in the figure. The electrostatic potentials and would satisfy the following relation:
