Consider a fixed uniformly charged insulating sphere with radius $R$ and total charge $+Q$. A point charge $-q$ ( $q \ll Q$ ) with mass $m$ is released from rest at a distance of $3 R$ from the centre of the charged sphere. When the point charge reaches the surface of the sphere, its speed is:
( $\varepsilon_0$ is the permittivity of vacuum, neglect gravitational forces).
A point charge $Q$ is placed inside a cavity within a solid isolated conducting sphere. Consider points $A, B$ and $C$ as shown in the figure, where the magnitudes of the electric fields are $E_A, E_B, E_C$, respectively. The points $B$ and $C$ are at the same distance from the center of the solid sphere. The correct option is :
Which of the following statements are correct?
A. Inside a conductor, the electrostatic field is zero.
B. Electric field at the surface of a charged conductor does not depend on its surface charge density.
C. The interior of a charged conductor can have no excess charge in the static situation.
D. At the surface of a charged conductor, the electrostatic field must be normal to the surface at every point.
E. The electrostatic potential is zero everywhere inside a charged conductor.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
An electric dipole with dipole moment $5 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{Cm}$ is aligned with the direction of a uniform electric field of magnitude $4 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{C}$. The dipole is then rotated through an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with respect to the electric field. The change in the potential energy of the dipole is:
