If a point charge is placed at a point inside a hollow conducting sphere, then, which of the following electric lines of force pattern is correct?




Important Questions on Electric Charges and Fields

(figures are schematic and not drawn to scale)




Let the respective electric fluxes through the surfaces be and . Then:

(i) A negative test charge experiences a force opposite to the direction of the field.
(ii) The tangent drawn to a line of force represents the direction of electric field.
(iii) The electric field lines never intersect.
(iv) The electric field lines form a closed loop.

Charges and are at points and of a right-angled triangle . The resultant electric field at point is perpendicular to the hypotenuse, then is proportional to:




The electric field lines on the left have twice the separation on those on the right as shown in figure. If the magnitude of the field at is , what is the force on charge kept at








Figure shows three arrangements of electric field lines. In each arrangement, a proton is released from rest at point A and then accelerated through point B by the electric field. Points A and B have equal separations in the three arrangements. If and are linear momentum of the proton at point B in the three arrangement respectively, then

A small point mass carrying some positive charge on it, is released from the edge of a table. There is a uniform electric field in this region in the horizontal direction. Which of the following options then correctly describe the trajectory of the mass ? (Curves are drawn schematically and are not to scale)
