A spherical charged conductor has surface charge density $\sigma $ . The electric field on its surface is $E$ and electric potential of conductor is $V$ . Now the radius of the sphere is halved keeping the charge to be constant. The new values of electric field and potential would be
$2E,\, 2V$
$4E,\, 2V$
$4E,\, 4V$
$2E,\,4V$
A cathode ray tube contains a pair of parallel metal plates $1.0\, cm$ apart and $3.0\, cm$ long. A narrow horizontal beam of electron with a velocity $3 \times 10^7\, m/s$ passed down the tube midway between the plates. When a potential difference of $550\, V$ is maintained across the plates, it is found that the electron beam is so deflected that it just strikes the end of one of the plates. Then the specific charge of the electron in $C/kg$ is
The figure gives the electric potential $V$ as a function of distance through five regions on $x$-axis. Which of the following is true for the electric field $E$ in these regions
A charge $3$ coulomb experiences a force $3000$ $N$ when placed in a uniform electric field. The potential difference between two points separated by a distance of $1$ $cm$ along the field lines is.....$V$
Two large circular discs separated by a distance of $0.01 m$ are connected to a battery via a switch as shown in the figure. Charged oil drops of density $900 kg m ^{-3}$ are released through a tiny hole at the center of the top disc. Once some oil drops achieve terminal velocity, the switch is closed to apply a voltage of $200 V$ across the discs. As a result, an oil drop of radius $8 \times 10^{-7} m$ stops moving vertically and floats between the discs. The number of electrons present in this oil drop is (neglect the buoyancy force, take acceleration due to gravity $=10 ms ^{-2}$ and charge on an electron ($e$) $=1.6 \times 10^{-19} C$ )
If on the $x$-axis electric potential decreases uniformly from $60 \,V$ to $20 \,V$ between $x=-2 \,m$ to $x=+2 \,m$, then the magnitude of electric field at the origin
