A point charge q of mass m is located at the centre of a ring having radius R and charge Q with its axis oriented along X- axis. When the point charge is displaced slightly, it accelerates along the X-axis to infinity; the ultimate speed of the point charge (consider no energy loss in radiation) is

An electron of mass me initially at rest moves through a certain distance in a uniform electric field in time t1. A proton of mass  mp also initially at rest takes time t2 to move through an equal distance in this uniform electric field. Neglecting the effect of gravity, the ratio of t2/t1 is nearly equal to:

Consider the following statements about electric dipole and select the correct ones.

S1: Electric dipole moment vector p is directed from negative charge to positive charge.

S2: The electric field of a dipole at a point with position vector r depends on r as well as the angle between r and p.

S3: The electric dipole potential falls off as 1r2 and not as 1r.

S4: In a uniform electric field, the electric dipole experiences no net forces but a torque τ=p×E.
