Consider an electric dipole comprising two charges $+q$ and $-q$ each with mass $m$, separated by a fixed distance $d$ and initially at rest with its dipole moment pointing along $\hat{\imath}$. A uniform electric field $E \hat{\jmath}$ is turned on at time $t = 0$ and it is turned off at $t = t_f$, when the dipole moment makes an angle $\theta_f$ with $\hat{\imath}$. Neglecting any sources of energy loss, correct option(s) is/are :

A

The center of mass of the dipole is deflected towards $\hat{\jmath}$ in the presence of the field.

B

If the magnitude of the final angular velocity $\omega_f = \sqrt{\frac{2qE}{md}}$, then $\theta_f = \frac{\pi}{6}$.

C

If $\theta_f = \pi/3$, then the change in kinetic energy of the dipole is given by $2\sqrt{3}\ qEd$.

D

For $\theta_f = \pi/4$, the dipole rotates around its center of mass with a constant angular velocity after $t > t_f$.

A positive point charge of $10^{-8}$ C is kept at a distance of 20 cm from the center of a neutral conducting sphere of radius 10 cm. The sphere is then grounded and the charge on the sphere is measured. The grounding is then removed and subsequently the point charge is moved by a distance of 10 cm further away from the center of the sphere along the radial direction. Taking $\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9$ Nm$^2$/C$^2$ (where $\epsilon_0$ is the permittivity of free space), which of the following statements is/are correct:

A

Before the grounding, the electrostatic potential of the sphere is 450 V.

B

Charge flowing from the sphere to the ground because of grounding is $5 \times 10^{-9}$ C.

C

After the grounding is removed, the charge on the sphere is $-5 \times 10^{-9}$ C.

D

The final electrostatic potential of the sphere is 300 V.

Six infinitely large and thin non-conducting sheets are fixed in configurations I and II. As shown in the figure, the sheets carry uniform surface charge densities which are indicated in terms of $\sigma_0$. The separation between any two consecutive sheets is $1~\mu \text{m}$. The various regions between the sheets are denoted as 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. If $\sigma_0 = 9~\mu\text{C/m}^2$, then which of the following statements is/are correct:

A small electric dipole $\vec{p}_0$, having a moment of inertia $I$ about its center, is kept at a distance $r$ from the center of a spherical shell of radius $R$. The surface charge density $\sigma$ is uniformly distributed on the spherical shell. The dipole is initially oriented at a small angle $\theta$ as shown in the figure. While staying at a distance $r$, the dipole is free to rotate about its center.
