η = 1 - (T
2
/ T
1
) ------------ (1)
Putting the values in equation 1 we get η = 1 - 600 / 1000
Or % η = 40%
Therefore, B is the correct answer option.
Question 11
A water drop of mass 10
-9
kg consists of free ions of charge 2.5 x 10
-20
C. If the water drop is
held at rest by an external field, what is the external field?
A. 2.55 x 10
10
N/C
B. 3.92 x 10
11
N/C
C. 4.56 x 10
10
N/C
D. -4.56 x 10
10
N/C
E. -3.92 x 10
11
N/C
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
Here, weight of the water drop is balanced by the electric force. Thus, we need to equate both kinds
of forces to find the value of the electric field. Weight of the water drop is given as
W = mg ---------------- (1)
Putting the values in equation 1 we get
W = 10
-9
* 9.8
Or W = 9.8 x 10
-9
N
Electric force is given as F = qE -------------- (2)
Putting the values in equation 2 we get F = 2.5 x 10
-20
* E ---------------- (3)
As discussed above, weight of the water drop is equal to the electric force and hence, equating weight
with equation 3 we get E = 3.92 x 10
11
N/C
Hence, B is the correct answer option.
