AIIMS 2018 Physics Electric Field and Charge Density MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

The expression to calculate the charge density σ is given as, E = σ/ε₀K. Substitute the values.

A

6 × 10⁵ = σ / ((8.85 × 10⁻¹²) (6))

B

σ = 36 × 8.85 × 10⁻¹² C/m²

C

= 3.18 × 10⁻¹⁰ C/m²

D

The maximum acceleration, aₘₐₓ = ω²A = k/m A = 800 Nm⁻¹ / 4 kg × 0.1 m = 20 m/s²

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Option A correctly applies the formula E=σε0KE = \frac{\sigma}{\varepsilon_0 K} by substituting the electric field E=6×105N/CE = 6 \times 10^5 \, \text{N/C}, the permittivity of free space ε0=8.85×1012C2/N m2\varepsilon_0 = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \, \text{C}^2/\text{N m}^2, and the dielectric constant K=6K = 6. This leads to the calculation of charge density σ\sigma as σ=Eε0K=6×105(8.85×1012)6\sigma = E \cdot \varepsilon_0 K = 6 \times 10^5 \cdot (8.85 \times 10^{-12}) \cdot 6, confirming the relationship.

Option B incorrectly assumes a direct multiplication without proper substitution into the original equation, while Option C provides a numerical result without showing the necessary steps to derive it from the equation. Option D is unrelated to the charge density calculation, focusing instead on maximum acceleration in a different context.
