Equilibrium – Numerical Problem
SOLID HEMISPHERE OF RADII R EACH, are placed in contact with each other with each other with their flat faces on a rough horizontal surface. A sphere of mass m and radius R is placed symmetrically on top of them. The normal reaction between the top sphere and any hemisphere assuming the system to be in state equilibrium is

A Numerical problem from electricity
In the given diagram,the cell and the ammeter, both have negligible resistance. the 
resisitors are identical. With switch K open , the ammeter reads 0.6 A. What will be the ammeter reading when the switch is closed?
-Mohit asked
Answer:
When the switch is open, the effective resistance is R/2, since the two resistances R each are in parallel.
Therefore, the pd, V = I x R/2 = 0.6 x R/2 = 0.3 R
When the key is closed, the effective resistance becomes R/3
Now the reading of the ammeter, I’ = V/(R/3) = 0.3R/(R/3)=0.9A

Is vacuum a Dielectric?
Is vacuum a Dielectric. If so how? please explain physically and mathematically
Answer:
Vacuum cannot be considered as a dieletric.
A dielectric is defined as an insulating material which can be polarized by applying electric field. When a dielectric is placed in an electric field, electric charges do not flow through the material, but only slightly shift from their average equilibrium positions causing dielectric polarization.
Nothing like that will happen in the case of vacuum.
But in theory, if necessary, vacuum can be considered as a dielectric medium of dielectric constant unity.
