NEET Physics: Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance — MCQ Test 8

Q6. A spherical conductor of radius 30 cm has a charge of \( 12 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{C} \). What is the electric field at 70 cm from the center? (Take \( \frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \, \text{Nm}^2 \text{C}^{-2} \)).

Q7. A point charge \( Q = 8 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{C} \) is placed at the origin. Calculate the potential at a point 4 m away from the charge. (Take \( \frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \, \text{Nm}^2 \text{C}^{-2} \)).

Q8. A parallel plate capacitor with \( C = 100 \, \text{pF} \) in air has a dielectric (\( K = 10 \)) inserted fully between plates. What is the new capacitance?

Q9. Three charges \( +5 \, \mu\text{C} \), \( -2 \, \mu\text{C} \), and \( +3 \, \mu\text{C} \) are at \( (0, 0, 0) \), \( (5, 0, 0) \), and \( (0, 5, 0) \, \text{m} \). What is the potential at \( (5, 5, 0) \, \text{m} \)? (Take \( \frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \, \text{Nm}^2 \text{C}^{-2} \)).

Q10. Why does the potential energy of a system of two opposite charges increase when their separation decreases?
