A simple pendulum of mass and charge is suspended vertically by a massless thread of length . At the point of suspension, a point charge is also fixed. If the pendulum is displaced slightly from equilibrium position, its time period will be


Important Questions on Electrostatics
The diagram shows the arrangement of three small uniformly charged spheres and . The arrows indicate the direction of the electrostatic forces acting between the spheres(for example, the left arrow on sphere indicates the electrostatic force on sphere due to sphere ). At least two of the spheres are positively charged. Which sphere, if any, could be negatively charged?

The figure, shown below, shows three situations involving a charged particle and a uniformly charged spherical shell. The charges and radii of the shells are indicated in the figure. If and are the magnitudes of the forces on the particle due to the presence of the shell in situations (I), (II) and (III) respectively then




The figure above shows a closed Gaussian surface in the shape of a cube of edge length . There exists an electric field given by, , where is in meters, in the region in which it lies. The net charge in coulombs enclosed by the cube is equal to


A hollow conducting sphere is placed in an electric field produced by a point charge placed at as shown in the figure. Let be the potentials at points and respectively. Then
