• Assertion (A): An electron has a high potential energy when it is at a location associated with a more negative value of potential, and a low potential energy when at a location associated with a more positive potential.

In the circuit shown in figure initially, key K₁ is closed and key K₂ is open. Then K₁ is opened and K₂ is closed (order is important). [Take Q₁′ and Q₂′ as charges on C₁ and C₂ and V₁ and V₂ as voltage respectively.]

Then

1. charge on C₁ gets redistributed such that V₁ = V₂
2. charge on C₁ gets redistributed such that Q₁′ = Q₂′
3. charge on C₁ gets redistributed such that C₁V1 + C₂V₂ = C₁E
4. charge on C1 gets redistributed such that Q₁′ + Q₂′ = Q

Calculate potential energy of a point charge – q placed along the axis due to a charge +Q uniformly distributed along a ring of radius R. Sketch P.E. as a function of axial distance z from the centre of the ring. Looking at graph, can you see what would happen if – q is displaced slightly from the centre of the ring (along the axis)?

1. In a quark model of elementary particles, a neutron is made of one up quarks [charge (2/3) e] and two down quarks [charges –(1/3) e]. Assume that they have a triangle configuration with side length of the order of 10^–15 m. Calculate electrostatic potential energy of neutron and compare it with its mass 939 MeV.
2. Repeat above exercise for a proton which is made of two up and one down quark.

Temperature dependence of resistivity ρ(T) of semiconductors, insulators and metals is significantly based on the following factors:

1. number of charge carriers can change with temperature T.
2. time interval between two successive collisions can depend on T.
3. length of material can be a function of T.
4. mass of carriers is a function of T.

What are the dimensions of χ, the magnetic susceptibility? Consider an H-atom. Guess an expression for χ, upto a constant by constructing a quantity of dimensions of χ, out of parameters of the atom: e, m, v, R and µ₀.
