Two large circular discs separated by a distance of 0.01 m are connected to a battery via a switch as shown in the figure. Charged oil drops of density 900 kg m⁻³ are released through a tiny hole at the center of the top disc. Once some oil drops achieve terminal velocity, the switch is closed to apply a voltage of 200 V across the discs. As a result, an oil drop of radius 8 $$ \times $$ 10⁻⁷ m stops moving vertically and floats between the discs. The number of electrons present in this oil drop is ________.
(neglect the buoyancy force, take acceleration due to gravity = 10 ms⁻² and charge on an electron (e) = 1.6 $$ \times $$ 10^–19 C)

A point charge q of mass m is suspended vertically by a string of length l. A point dipole of dipole moment $$\overrightarrow p $$ is now brought towards q from infinity so that the charge moves away. The final equilibrium position of the system including the direction of the dipole, the angles and distances is shown in the figure below. If the work done in bringing the dipole to this position is N $$ \times $$ (mgh), where g is the acceleration due to gravity, then the value of N is _________ .
(Note that for three coplanar forces keeping a point mass in equilibrium, $${F \over {\sin \theta }}$$ is the same for all forces, where F is any one of the forces and $$\theta $$ is the angle between the other two forces)

A hot air balloon is carrying some passengers, and a few sandbags of mass 1 kg each so that its total mass is 480 kg. Its effective volume giving the balloon its buoyancy is V. The balloon is floating at an equilibrium height of 100 m. When N number of sandbags are thrown out, the balloon rises to a new equilibrium height close to 150 m with its volume V remaining unchanged. If the variation of the density of air with height h from the ground is
$$\rho \left( h \right) = {\rho _0}{e^{ - {h \over {{h_0}}}}}$$, where $$\rho $$₀ = 1.25 kg m⁻³ and h₀ = 6000 m, the value of N is _________.

A thermally isolated cylindrical closed vessel of height 8 m is kept vertically. It is divided into two equal parts by a diathermic (perfect thermal conductor) frictionless partition of mass 8.3 kg. Thus the partition is held initially at a distance of 4 m from the top, as shown in the schematic figure below. Each of the two parts of the vessel contains 0.1 mole of an ideal gas at temperature 300 K. The partition is now released and moves without any gas leaking from one part of the vessel to the other. When equilibrium is reached, the distance of the partition from the top (in m) will be _______.
(take the acceleration due to gravity = 10 ms⁻² and the universal gas constant = 8.3 J mol⁻¹K⁻¹).
