A charge \(+q\) is fixed at each of the points $x=x_0,$ $x=3x_0,$ $x=5x_0$ ..... infinite, on the \(x\)-axis, and a charge \(-q\) is fixed at each of the points $x=2x_0,$ $x=4x_0,x=6x_0$,..... infinite. Here \(x_0\) is a positive constant. Take the electric potential at a point due to a charge \(Q\) at a distance \(r\) from it to be \(\frac{Q}{4\pi \varepsilon_0 r}\). Then, the potential at the origin due to the above system of charges is:
1. \(0\)
2. \(\frac{q}{8 \pi \varepsilon_{0} x_{0} \mathrm{ln} 2}\)
3. \(\infty\)
4. \(\frac{q \mathrm{ln} 2}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0} x_{0}}\)

Point charge q moves from point P to point S along the path PQRS (figure shown) in a uniform electric field E pointing co-parallel to the positive direction of the x-axis. The coordinates of the points P, Q, R, and S are $(a,b,0),(2a,0,0),(a,-b,0)$ and (0, 0, 0) respectively. The work done by the field in the above process is given by the expression 

(1) qEa

(2) – qEa

(3) $qEa\sqrt{2}$

(4) $qE\sqrt{[{\left(2a\right)}^2+b^2]}$

Inside a hollow charged spherical conductor, the potential -

Two small spheres each carrying a charge q are placed r meter apart. If one of the spheres is taken around the other one in a circular path of radius r, the work done will be equal to

(3) Force between them / 2πr

(4) Zero

Two charged spheres of radii 10 cm and 15 cm are connected by a thin wire. No current will flow, if they have -

The electric potential V at any point O (x, y, z all in metres) in space is given by $V=4x^{2}volt$. The electric field at the point $(1m,0,2m)$ in volt/metre is -

(2) 8 along positive x-axis

(3) 16 along negative x-axis

(4) 16 along positive z-axis

A hollow metal sphere of radius 5 cm is charged so that the potential on its surface is 10 V. The potential at the centre of the sphere is -

(1) 0 V

(3) Same as at point 5 cm away from the surface

(4) Same as at point 25 cm away from the surface

If a unit positive charge is taken from one point to another over an equipotential surface, then -

(1) Work is done on the charge
