  • question_answer
    A plastic disc is charged on one side with a uniform surface charge density \[\sigma \]and then three quadrant of the disk are removed. The remaining quadrant is shown in figure, with V=0 at infinity, the potential due to the remaining quadrant point P is

    A) \[\frac{\sigma }{2{{\in }_{0}}}\left[ {{\left( {{r}^{2}}+{{R}^{2}} \right)}^{1/2}}-r \right]\]      

    B) \[\frac{\sigma }{2{{\in }_{0}}}\left[ R-r \right]\]

    C) \[\frac{\sigma }{8{{\in }_{0}}}\left[ {{\left( {{r}^{2}}+{{R}^{2}} \right)}^{1/2}}-r \right]\]      

    D) none of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] The potential at P due to whole disc is \[V=\frac{\sigma }{2{{\in }_{0}}}\left[ \sqrt{{{R}^{2}}+{{r}^{2}}-r} \right].\] Now potential due to quarter disc, \[V=\frac{V}{4}=\frac{\sigma }{8{{\in }_{0}}}\left[ \sqrt{{{R}^{2}}+{{r}^{2}}-r} \right].\]
