A large number of positive charges each of magnitude $$q$$ are placed along the $$X$$-axis at the origin and at every 1 cm distance in both the directions. The electric flux through a spherical surface of radius 2.5 cm centred at the origin is
The electric field in a region of space is given as $$\mathbf{E}=\left(5 \mathrm{NC}^{-1}\right) x \hat{i}$$. Consider point $$A$$ on the $$Y$$-axis at $$y=5 \mathrm{~m}$$ and point $$B$$ on the $$X$$-axis at $$x=2 \mathrm{~m}$$. If the potentials at points $$A$$ and $$B$$ are $$V_A$$ and $$V_B$$ respectively, then $$\left(V_B-V_A\right)$$ is
A solid sphere of radius $$R$$ carries a positive charge $$Q$$ distributed uniformly throughout its volume. A very thin hole is drilled through it's centre. A particle of mass $$m$$ and charge $$-$$q performs simple harmonic motion about the centre of the sphere in this hole. The frequency of oscillation is
Assertion (A) In a region of constant potential, the electric field is zero and there can be no charge inside the region.
Reason (R) According to Gauss law, charge inside the region should be zero if electric field is zero.
Statement (A) Inside a charged hollow metal sphere, $$E=0, V \neq 0$$, (where, $$E=$$ electric field, $$V=$$ electric potential).
Statement (B) The work done in moving a positive charge on an equipotential surface is zero.
Statement (C) When two like charges are brought closer, their mutual electrostatic potential energy will increase.
Electrostatic force between two identical charges placed in vacuum at distance of $$r$$ is F. A slab of width $$\frac{r}{5}$$ and dielectric constant 9 is inserted between these two charges, then the force between the charges is
An electric dipole with dipole moment $$5 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{m}$$ is in the electric field of $$2 \times 10^4 \mathrm{NC}^{-1}$$ at an angle of $$60^{\circ}$$ with the direction of the electric field. The torque acting on the dipole is
Two positive point charges of $$10 \mu \mathrm{C}$$ and $$12 \mu \mathrm{C}$$ are placed 10 cm apart in air. The work done to bring them 6 cm closer is
What is the electric flux for Gaussian surface $$A$$ that encloses the charged particles in free space? [Given, $$q_1=-14 \mathrm{~nC}, q_2=78.85 \mathrm{~nC}, \left.q_3=-56 \mathrm{~nC}\right]$$
Two charges 8 $$\mu$$C each are placed at the corners A and B of an equilateral triangle of side 0.2 m in air. The electric potential at the third corner C is
Gauss's law helps in
Charge on the outer sphere is $$q$$ and the inner sphere is grounded. The charge on the inner sphere is $$q^{\prime}$$, for $$\left(r_2 > r_1\right)$$. Then,
Which statement(s) among the following are incorrect?
(i) A negative test charge experiences a force opposite to the direction of the field.
(ii) The tangent drawn to a line of force represents the direction of electric field.
(iii) The electric field lines never intersect.
(iv) The electric field lines form a closed loop.
