Consider the charge configuration and spherical Gaussian surface as shown in the figure. While calculating the flux of the electric field over the spherical surface, the electric field will be due to:
(1) q2 only
(2) Only the positive charges
(3) All the charges
(4) +q1 and – q1 only
Two-point charges \(+q\) and \(–q\) are held fixed at \((–d, 0)\) and \((d, 0)\) respectively of a \((x, y)\) coordinate system. Then:
1. | \(E\) at all points on the \(y\text-\)axis is along \(\hat i\) |
2. | The electric field \(\vec E \) at all points on the \(x\text-\)axis has the same direction |
3. | The dipole moment is \(2qd\) directed along \(\hat i\) |
4. | The work has to be done to bring a test charge from infinity to the origin |
The electric field due to a uniformly charged solid sphere of radius R as a function of the distance from its centre is represented graphically by -

Suppose the charge of a proton and an electron differ slightly. One of them is \(\text- e\) and the other is \((e+\Delta e)\). If the net of electrostatic force and gravitational force between two hydrogen atoms placed at a distance \(d\) (much greater than atomic size) apart is zero, then \(\Delta e\)
1. \(10^{-20}~\text{C}\)
2. \(10^{-23}~\text{C}\)
3. \(10^{-37}~\text{C}\)
4. \(10^{-47}~\text{C}\)
Two identical charged spheres suspended from a common point by two massless strings of lengths l are initially at a distance d(d < < l) apart because of their mutual repulsion. The charges begin to leak from both the spheres at a constant rate. As a result, the spheres approach each other with a velocity v. Then, v varies as a function of the distance x between the sphere, as:
1. \(v \propto x\)
2. \(v \propto x^{\frac{-1}{2}}\)
3. \(v \propto x^{-1}\)
4. \(v \propto x^{\frac{1}{2}}\)
The electric field in a certain region is acting radially outward and is given by \(E = Ar\). A charge contained in a sphere of radius \(a\) centered at the origin of the field will be given by:
1. \(4\pi \varepsilon_0 Aa^2\)
2. \(\pi \varepsilon_0 Aa^2\)
3. \(4\pi \varepsilon_0 Aa^3\)
4. \(\varepsilon_0 Aa^2\)
Two pith balls carrying equal charges are suspended from a common point by strings of equal length, the equilibrium separation between them is r. Now the strings are rigidly clamped at half the height. The equilibrium separation between the balls now become:

A charge Q is enclosed by a Gaussian spherical surface of radius R. If the radius is doubled, then the outward electric flux will
1. be reduced to half
2. remain the same
3. be doubled
4. increase four times
Two positive ions, each carrying a charge q, are separated by a distance d. If F is the force of repulsion between the ions, the number of electrons missing from each ion will be (e being the charge on an electron)
