Derive an expression for drift velocity of free electrons in a conductor in terms of relaxation time.

The energy levels of an atom are as shown below. Which of them will result in the transition of a photon of wavelength 275 nm?

The charge on a proton is +1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C and that on an electron is −1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C. Does it mean that the electron has 3.2 × 10⁻¹⁹ C less charge than the proton? 

When the separation between two charges is increased, the electric potential energy of the charges

The electric field at the origin is along the positive x-axis. A small circle is drawn with the centre at the origin, cutting the axes at points A, B, C and D with coordinates (a, 0), (0, a), (−a, 0), (0, −a), respectively. Out of the points on the periphery of the circle, the potential is minimum at  

If a body is charged by rubbing it, its weight

Consider the situation in the figure. The work done in taking a point charge from P to Ais W_A, from P to B is W_B and from P to C is W_C. 

A point charge q is rotated along a circle in an electric field generated by another point charge Q. The work done by the electric field on the rotating charge in one complete revolution is 

The electric field and the electric potential at a point are E and V, respectively.  

Electric potential decreases uniformly from 120 V to 80 V, as one moves on the x-axis from x = −1 cm to x = +1 cm. The electric field at the origin
