A leaf electroscope is a simple apparatus to detect any charge on a body. It consists of two metal
leaves OA and OB, free to rotate about O. Initially both are very slightly separated. When a charged
object is touched to the metal knob at the top of the conducting rod, charge flows from knob to the
leaves through the conducting rod. As the leaves are now charged similarly, they start repelling each
other and get separated, (deflected by certain angle).

Sol. We are going to prove that the electric field strength is zero at the socalled incentre, the centre of the
triangle’s inscribed circle (which has radius r in the figure)
r r

r 
Q P
Let us consider a small length of rod at position P on one of the sides of the triangle; let it subtend an
angle  at the incentre (see figure). Its distance from the incentre is r/cos. Its small length x can be
found by noting that P is a distance x = r tan  along the rod from the fixed point Q and so
 x = (r) / (cos2 ). Consequently the charge it carries is
r
q =
cos2 
 where λ is the linear charge density on the rods. The magnitude of the elementary contribution of this
small piece to the electric field at the incentre is
1 qcos2  1 r
E = 
40 r 2 40 r 2
It can be seen from this result that the same electric field (in both magnitude and direction) would be
produced by an arc of the inscribed circle that subtends  at the circle’s centre and carries the same
linear charge density  as the rod.
Summing up the contributions of the small arc pieces correspondingto all threesides of the triangle,
we will, because of the circular symmetry, obtain zero net field. It follows that the electric field strength
produced by the charged sides of the triangle is also zero at the incentre.

37. A square of side d, made from a thin insulating plate, is uniformly charged and carries a total charge of
Q. A point charge q is placed on the symmetrical normal axis of the square at a distance d/2 from the
plate. How large is the force acting on the point charge?

Sol. According to Newton’s third law, the insulating plate acts on the point charge with a force of the same
magnitude (but opposite direction) as the point charge does on the plate. We calculate the magnitude of
this latter force.
Divide the plate (notionally) into small pieces, and denote the area of the ith piece by Ai. Because of
the uniform charge distribution, the charge on this small piece is
Q
Qi = 2 Ai
d
and so the electric force acting on it is Fi = Ei_Qi, where Ei is the magnitude of the electric field
produced by the point charge q at the position of the small piece.
The force acting on the insulating plate, as a whole, can be calculated as the vector sum of the forces
acting on the individual pieces of the plate. Because of the axial symmetry, the net force is erpendicular
to the plate, and so it is sufficient to sum the perpendicular components of the forces :
  

F= Fi cos i  Ei 2 Ai cos i  2 Ei Ai cos i
i i d d i
where i is the angle between the normal to the plate and the line that connects the point charge to the
ith piece of it.
The sum in the given expression is nothing other than the electric flux through the square sheet
produced by the point charge q :
= E A cos 

i i i
and can be evaluated as follows.

Let us imagine that a cube of edge d is constructed symmetrically around the point charge (see figure).
Then, the distance of the point charge from each side of the cube is just d/2. According to Gauss’s law,

the total electric flux passing through the six sides of the cube is q/0 and so the flux through a single
side is one-sixth of this :

Using this and our previous observations, we calculate the magnitude of the force acting on the point
