Important Questions on Electrostatics


There is a uniform electric field of strength along -axis. A body of mass and charge is projected into the field from origin along the positive -axis with a velocity . Its speed in after is (neglect gravitation)



The adjacent diagram shows a charge held on an insulating support and enclosed by a hollow spherical conductor. represents the centre of the spherical conductor and is a point such that and . The electric field at point will be:

Consider the following statements about electric dipole and select the correct ones.
S1: Electric dipole moment vector is directed from negative charge to positive charge.
S2: The electric field of a dipole at a point with position vector depends on as well as the angle between and .
S3: The electric dipole potential falls off as and not as .
S4: In a uniform electric field, the electric dipole experiences no net forces but a torque .
