55. Equal and opposite charge is given to two parallel plates. Without any space between them, the electric field is \( 3 \times 10^{5} V / m \) and with space filled with dielectric, electric field intensity is \( 1.0 \times 10^{5} V / m \). The induced charge density on the surface of the dielectric is: (a) \( 3.44 \times 10^{-6} C / m ^{2} \) (b) \( 8.8 \times 10^{-6} C / m ^{2} \) (c) \( 6.93 \times 10^{-6} C / m ^{2} \) (d) \( 1.77 \times 10^{-6} C / m ^{2} \)

Correct Answer - c
Let the rocket be at a distance x from the moon the gravitational force on it is zero. Its distance from earth `=r-x`. Gravitational force on rocket due to earth is
`F_(e)=(GmM_(e))/((r-x)^(2))`
Gravitational force on rocket due to moon is
`F_(m)=(GmM_(m))/(x^(2))`
`F_(e)=F_(m)`
`(r-x)/(x)=sqrt((M_(e))/(M_(m)))=sqrt(81)=9`
`x=(r)/(10)`
