  • Question 1/10
    1 / -0.25

    When a negatively charged conductor is connected to earth,

    Solutions
    • When a negatively charged body is grounded electrons from the body flow to the earth and the body becomes neutral.
    • On the other hand, when a positively charged body is grounded electrons coming from the earth neutralize the body.

    Additional Information: Earth is an electric conductor. Earthing is defined as “the process in which the instantaneous discharge of the electrical energy takes place by transferring charges directly to the earth through low resistance wire.” When a charged body is connected to the earth, it becomes electrically neutral. 

  • Question 2/10
    1 / -0.25

    A negative ion is an atom that ________ electrons.

    Solutions
    • Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons.
    • Gaining electrons changes an atom into a negative ion.
    • Losing electrons changes an atom into a positive ion.

    Therefore, the correct answer is C. 

  • Question 3/10
    1 / -0.25

    When a hard rubber rod is given a negative charge by rubbing it with wool:

    Solutions
    • On rubbing a rubber rod with wool, the electrons from the wool get transferred to the rubber rod.
    • The wool now has a deficiency of electrons and so is positively charged.
    • On the other hand, the rubber rod has an excess of electrons and hence is negatively charged.
    • In the above example, the wool undergoes positive electrification.
    • It is to be noted that it is the electrons and not the protons that get transferred during positive (and negative) electrification.
    • Here, the transfer of electrons and mass transfer respectively takes place from wool to the rubber rod.
  • Question 4/10
    1 / -0.25

    The value of charge on a body which carries 30 excess electrons is:

    Solutions

    Here, n = 30 
    e = -1.6 x 10-19 C
    We know that q = n ∗ e

    Therefore, q = 30 * (1.6 x 10-19 C)
    q = - 4.8 ∗ 10-18 C

  • Question 5/10
    1 / -0.25

    The total negative charge in 1 mol of helium (atomic number 2, atomic mass 4) is:

    Solutions
    • He atom has 2 electrons.
    • So, 1 mole of He has 2*N(N is Avogadro's no.) electrons.
    • Then total -ve charge in 1 mole He gas is =  2 * N * charge of 1 electron
      = 2 * (6.022 * 1023) * (1.6 * 10-19) = 1.92 * 10
  • Question 6/10
    1 / -0.25

    Name the physical quantity whose S.I. unit is JC-1. Is it a scalar or a vector quantity?

    Solutions
    • Physical quantity whose S.I. unit is JC-1 is Electric potential.
    • It is a Scalar quantity.

    Additional Information:

    • The SI base unit of electric flux is voltmeters (V m) which is also equal to newton-meters squared per coulomb (N m2 C-1). Also, electric flux is a scalar quantity. 
    • Electric potential is expressed in units of joules per coulomb (i.e., volts). It is also a scalar quantity. 
  • Question 7/10
    1 / -0.25

    How many electrons are present in 1 coulomb of charge?​

    Solutions

    According to Quantisation of Charge we know that,
    Q = ne
    Therefore, 1 coulomb of Charge = n * 1.6 * 10-19 
    ⇒ 1/ 1.6 × 10-19 = n
    ⇒ n = 6.25 × 1018

  • Question 8/10
    1 / -0.25

    What does q1 + q2 = 0 signify?​

    Solutions

    If we have two bodies with charge q1 and q2 on them and we are given q1 + q2 = 0. It means the net charge on the system is zero.

    This is possible only if q1 and q2 are equal and opposite.

    That is, q1 = +q and q2 = -q or vice versa. 

    Such that, q1 + q2 = +q + (-q) = 0

  • Question 9/10
    1 / -0.25

    A silk cloth rubbed with a glass rod acquire a charge (-1.6 x 10-19) C. Then the charge on the glass rod is​:

    Solutions

    During rubbing, glass rod acquires + ve charges and silk cloth acquires - ve charges.
    The glass rod will have postive charge equal in value to the negative charge lost by the silk.
    ∴ the charge on the glass rod is + 1.6×10- 19C

    Additional Information: When a glass rod is rubbed with silk, glass happens to lose electrons easily and silk grabs them away from the glass atoms. So after rubbing, the glass becomes positively charged and the silk becomes negatively charged. Thus equal but opposite charges are produced on both. 

  • Question 10/10
    1 / -0.25

    To make uncharged object have a positive charge:

    Solutions
    • A body consists of atoms that have electrons, protons and neutrons. The electrons have a negative charge. The protons are positively charged and the neutrons are neutral.
    • The atom is neutral because the positive and negative charges cancel out each other.
    • On removing electrons, an excess of protons are present and thus the body is said to be positively charged.
