Why Challenger Series? Gradually, every year the nature of competitive entrance exams is inching towards conceptual

understanding of topics. Moreover, it is time to bid adieu to the stereotypical approach of solving a problem using a single conventional method. To be able to successfully crack the NEET examination, it is imperative to develop skills such as data interpretation, appropriate time management, knowing various methods to solve a problem, etc. With Challenger Series, we are sure, you’d develop all the aforementioned skills and take a more holistic approach towards problem solving. The way you’d tackle advanced level MCQs with the help of hints, Smart tips, Smart codes and Thinking Hatke section would give you the necessary practice that would be a game changer in your preparation for the competitive entrance examinations.

What is the intention behind the launch of Challenger Series? The sole objective behind the introduction of Challenger Series is to severely test the student’s

preparedness to take competitive entrance examinations. With an eclectic range of critical and advanced level MCQs, we intend to test a student’s MCQ solving skills within a stipulated time period.

What do I gain out of Challenger Series? After using Challenger Series, students would be able to: a. assimilate the given data and apply relevant concepts with utmost ease. b. tackle MCQs of different pattern such as match the columns, diagram based questions,

multiple concepts and assertion-reason efficiently. c. garner the much needed confidence to appear for competitive exams. d. easy and time saving methods to tackle tricky questions will help ensure that time consuming

questions do not occupy more time than you can allot per question. Can the Questions presented in Problems to Ponder section be a part of the NEET

Examination? No, the questions would not appear as it is in the NEET Examination. However, there are fair chances that these questions could be covered in parts or with a novel question construction.

Best of luck to all the aspirants!

2.1 Dielectrics, Electric polarisation and Electric susceptibility

Dielectrics

Dielectrics Dielectrics are (non-conducting) material that transmit electric effect without conducting. Types of dielectrics Polar dielectrics Non polar dielectrics

i. It has permanent electric dipole momenteven if the electric field is absent.

ii. Net dipole moment of polar dielectric iszero because polar molecules are randomlyoriented in absence of electric field.

iii. In presence of electric field, polarmolecules align themselves in thedirection of the field.Examples: Alcohol, Water, NH3, HCl.

i. Every non-polar molecule has zerodipole moment in its normal state.

ii. When electric field is applied,molecule acts like electric dipole.Examples: N2, O2, Methane, Benzene.

Electric polarisation:i. In presence of an external electric field, a dielectric develops a net dipole moment. The dipole moment per

unit volume is called polarization.It is denoted by P

and expressed in Cm2.

ii. Relation between polarisation vector and surface density of induced charges:When a dielectric slab is placed in an electric field, the charges are induced on the surfaces of the dielectric.The negative induced surface chaitairge is equal to the positive induced surface charge. So, dielectric as awhole remains electrically neutral. Thus, polarisation of a dielectric involves only a relative displacement ofcharges in it.

Let, ± qi = induced surface charges, ± i = surface density of induced charges,

x = thickness of slab and A = area of the slab.Dipole moment of slab = qi x,Volume of slab = Ax

Polarisation, P = i ii

q x qAx A

So, when P

is normal to the surface of the dielectric, the polarisation is numerically equal to i.

2.2 Capacitance And Capacitors Capacitance:

Formula: C = qV

Units: farad in SI system; statfarad in CGS system

Conversion factors: 1farad = 9 1011 statfarad Dimensions: [M1 L2 T4 A2] 1 F = 106 F Quantity: scalar

1 nF = 10–9 F 1 pF = 1012 F Capacitance of conductor: i. Capacitance of a conductor is small and limited. ii. The capacity of conductor depends on its shape and size and nature of surrounding medium. iii. Also, if a conductor is placed near a charged conductor, the potential of charged conductor decreases and

hence it can store more charge i.e., nearness of a conductor increases the capacitance of a charged conductor. Redistribution of charges and concept of common potential: Consider two insulated conductors P and Q of capacitances C1 and C2 carrying charges q1 and q2

respectively. Let V1 and V2 be their respective potentials. When the two conductors are joined by a thin metallic wire, positive charge begins to flow from a conductor of higher potential to a conductor of lower potential till their potentials are equalised. Thus, the charges are redistributed. But the total quantity of charge remains (q1 + q2).

If we neglect the capacitance of the connecting wire and assume that the conductors are so much spaced apart that they do not electrically affect each other, then the combined capacitance of the two conductors is C1 + C2.

Dielectric constant of dielectric medium is the ratio of the strength of the applied electric field to the strength of the reduced value of the electric field on placing dielectric between the plates of the capacitor.

2.6 Van de Graaff generator i. Van de Graaff generator is an electrostatic generator which can generate very high potential of the order of

5 106 V. It is used to accelerate charged particles to carry out nuclear reactions. ii. Principle: It is based on two electrostatic phenomena: a. A sharp pointed conductor has large charge

density. Hence the surrounding air becomes conducting and produces discharge called Corona discharge.

b. When a charged conductor is brought in contact with hollow conductor, it transfers the charge to hollow conductor. The transferred charge resides on the outer surface of the hollow conductor.

Applications of Van de Graff generator: i. It is used to produce high potential of the order

of few millions of volt. ii. It is used to accelerate charged particles such as

proton, deuteron. iii. It is used in nuclear physics for studies. iv. In medicine, such beams are used to treat cancer. 1. Capacitance: C = q

3. When dielectric is partially filled between the

plates of a parallel plate capacitor then itscapacitance increases but potential differencedecreases. To maintain the capacitance andpotential difference of capacitor as before,separation between the plates has to beincreased say by d. In such case
