Electric Charges and Field
Electric Charge

Ques 1. If a body is charged by rubbing it, its weight


(a) always decreases slightly
(b) always increases slightly
(c) may increase slightly or may decrease slightly
(d) remains precisely the same

Ques 2. In general, metallic ropes are suspended on the carriers which take inflammable
material. The reason is
(a) there speed is controlled
(b) to keep the centre of gravity of the carrier nearer to the earth
(c) to keep the body of the carrier in contact with the earth
(d) nothing should be placed under the carrier

Ques 3. One metallic sphere A is given positive charge whereas another identical metallic
sphere B of exactly same mass as of A is given equal amount of negative charge. Then
(a) mass of A and mass of B still remain equal
(b) mass of A increases
(c) mass of B decreases
(d) mass of B increases

Ques 4. A copper sphere of mass 2.0 g contains about 2 × 1022 atoms. The charge on the
nucleus of each atom is 29e (e = electronic charge). The mass of an electron is 9.11
×10−31 kg. How much mass will the sphere lose or gain if it is a given a charge of
+2µC?
(a) Loss a mass of 1.33 × 10−14 g
(b) Gain a mass of 1.13 × 10−14 g
(c) Neither gain nor loss any mass
(d) Change in mass will depend upon the kinetic energy of the electrons
Solution
1. Weight may increase or decrease depending upon whether the body is charged
negatively or positively.

2. For providing path to charge induced on the surface of the carriers which take
inflammable material.

3. Negative charge means excess of electron which increases the mass of sphere B.

4. To give positive charge to the copper sphere, a certain number of free electrons
must be removed. The total number of electrons is 29 (2 × 1022 ) = 5.8 × 1023 .
Since a positive charge of 2µC is to be given the number of electrons to

2 × 10−6
= = 1.25 × 1013
1.6 × 10−19
The mass of the electrons removed

= 1.25 × 1013 × 0.91 × 10−30 kg


= 1.13 × 10−17 kg = 1.13 × 10−14 kg
This mass will be lost by the copper sphere.
