Case -II
Lightning is an electric current. Within a thundercloud way up in the sky, many small bits of ice
(frozen raindrops) bump into each other as they move around in the air. All of those collisions create
an electric charge. After a while, the whole cloud fills up with electrical charges.
The positive charges or protons form at the top of the cloud and the negative charges or electrons
form at the bottom of the cloud. Since opposites attract, that causes a positive charge to build up on
the ground beneath the cloud. The grounds electrical charge concentrates around anything that sticks
up, such as mountains, people, or single trees. The charge coming up from these points eventually
connects with a charge reaching down from the clouds and lightning strikes.
(i) Charge is the property associated with matter due to which it produces and experiences
(a) electric effects only (b) magnetic effects only
(c) both electric and magnetic effects (d) None of these
(ii) When some charge is transferred to ...A... it readily gets distributed over the entire surface of ...
A... If some charge is put on ... B..., it stays at the same place. Here, A and B refer to

 (c) The law, governing the force between electric charges in the cloud is known as

c. faraday’s law d. coulomb’s law

18. Using Gauss Law

∙ Gauss Law states that, Electric flux Δϕ=qinϵ0
∙ Assuming both the spherical surfaces S1 and S2 as gaussian surfaces. From
figure, we find that the charge enclosed(qin=Q), same for both the surfaces
irrespective of radius.
∙ Hence, the Flux passing through both surfaces is same.
Hence correct Option is D
Note: We can observe that whatever be the size, shape and position of second
surface, If it is enclosing the same charge, then the Number of field lines
crossing it or charge enclosed by it remains the same as first surface.
Hence answer will be same, even if the second surface is cube or cylinder of any size.
19. Equipotential surfaces due to two identical charges is shown in figure.
For two same charges the charges will repeal each other at a distance 'd' forming equipotential
surfaces.

(1)When the dipole is aligned parallel to the electric field (i.e. the angle between dipole
moment and the electric field is 0o), then the dipole is in stable equilibrium.
(2)When the dipole is aligned anti-parallel to the electric field (i.e. the angle between dipole
moment and the electric field is 180o), then the dipole is in unstable equilibrium.

Slope of a V-I graph gives value of 1/R , as we can see that the slope of graph 1 is greater than
graph 2 ,so
1/R1>1/R2 or R2>R1
we know that the resistance of metals increases with increase in temperature therefore
T2>T1 it means T1 is lower because R1 is smaller .
