Q1. Answer: (d) does not change
- According to Coulomb's Law, the force between two point charges depends only on their magnitudes and the distance between them:
F=k|q1q2|r2
- The introduction of a third charge q3 may exert an additional force on q2, but the force due to q1 on q2 remains unchanged as it depends only on their mutual distance and charges.
Q2. Answer: (a) spherical
- Equipotential surfaces are surfaces where the potential is constant.
- For an isolated point charge, the potential at a distance r from the charge is given by:
V=kqr
- This means all points at the same distance from the charge have the same potential, forming spherical equipotential surfaces centred around the charge.
Q3. Answer: (b) virtual, erect, and magnified
Q4. Answer: (a) Light waves of the same wavelength coming from two independent sources can be coherent and can produce interference
Q5. Answer: (b) keeps decreasing
- The de Broglie wavelength is given by:
λ=hp
where h is Planck's constant and p=mv is the momentum.
-As the ball falls, its velocity increases due to gravity, meaning its momentum increases. Since λ is inversely proportional to momentum, the wavelength keeps decreasing.
