A charge
is moving towards the centre of an earthed conducting sphere of radius
with uniform velocity
. Distance of two points A and B from the centre of the sphere are
and
. Conducting sphere is earthed with an ideal ammeter and a resistance
in series as shown.
Let, at any instant
be at a distance
from the centre of the sphere. The heat energy produced in the resistor till the charge moves from A to B is given as
where
and
are constants (fraction is in lowest form). Compute
