3. (D) The charged balloon will polarize both the wooden board and the steel plate.
Therefore, it will be attracted to both. However, the polarization of the wood occurs on
an atomic scale because it is an insulator, and its electrons do not move easily. The
steel is a conductor that allows its electrons to migrate. This permits the electrons in
the steel to move farther and create a larger charge separation in the process of
polarization. This means the balloon will be attracted to the steel more strongly than
to the wood.

The situation is shown in figure. At initial time, the ball is at P, then under the action of
a force (exerted by hand) from P to A and then from A to B let acceleration of ball
during PA be a ms-2 (assumed to be constant) in upward direction and velocity of ball
at be is v m/s. Then,
for PA,
V2 = 02 + 2a x 0.2
For AB,
0 = v2 – 2 x g x ⇒ v2 = 2g x 2
From above equations, a = 10 g = 100 ms-2
Then, for PA, FBD of ball is F – mg = ma
[F is the force exerted by hand on ball]
⇒ F = m (g + a) = 0.21 (11 g) = 22 N
Oil is the least dense of them, so it should settle at the top with water at the base.
Now the ball is denser than oil but less dense than water. So, it will sink through oil
but will not sink in water. So, it will stay at the oil-water interface.

123. (C,D) Analysis of forces in the horizontal direction (where there can be no
acceleration) leads to the conclusion that F = FN, the magnitude of the normal force is
P – mg – f = ma.
If we assume f = fs and a = 0, we obtain f = (34 – 22) N = 12 N. This is less than fs, max,

which shows the consistency of our assumption. The answer is : f

= 12 N down.

(b) In this case, P = 12N upward. The above equation with the same assumption as in
part (a), leads to f = (12 – 22) N = –10 N. Thus, |fs| < fs, max, justifying our assumption
that the block is stationary, but its negative value tells us that our initial assumption

about the direction of f is incorrect in this case. Thus, the answer is : f

= 10 N up.

Second stone is thrown after 2 seconds. Therefore, time interval between their hitting
the ground is 2 seconds. Absolute acceleration of both is g, downwards. Therefore,
relative acceleration between two is zero and relative motion is uniform. Or, relative
velocity remains constant.

In initial case, E is along (1) whereas in final case E is along 2. Potential at centre

134. (A,C,D) Since E.F. lines are starting from q1 and ending at q2, so q1 is positive and
q2 is negative

144. (C,D) Measuring the potential difference when the switch is open gives us the
battery’s emf. All we need is either the current or the potential difference, when the
switch is closed, to find the internal resistance of the battery. With either, we can
calculate the potential difference across the internal resistance and the current
passing through it. Then we can find the value of the internal resistance.
145. (A,D) Energy cannot be created or destroyed. In a simple circuit, the chemical
energy stored in the battery is transferred to thermal energy at the resistor. When the
battery “dies,” the chemical reactions are complete, and the resistor and the
