A thin metallic disc is rotating with constant angular velocity about a vertical axis that is perpendicular to its plane and passes through its centre. The rotation causes the free electrons in the disc to redistribute. Assume that, there is no external electric or magnetic field. Then,

A series combination of $n_1$ capacitors, each of value $C_1$, is charged by a source of potential difference $4\,V$. When another parallel combination $n_2$ capacitors, each of value $C_2$, is charged by a source of potential difference $V$, it has the same (total) energy store in it, as the first combination has. The value of $C_2$, in terms of $C_1$, is then

Assertion : The positive charge particle is placed in front of a spherical uncharged conductor. The number of lines of forces terminating on the sphere will be more than those emerging from it.
Reason : The surface charge density at a point on the sphere nearest to the point charge will be negative and maximum in magnitude compared to other points on the sphere
