Important Questions on Electric Charges and Fields

Which of the four particles contribute to the electric field at point on the surface?

Which of the four particles contribute to the net electric flux through the closed surface?


A few electric field lines for a system of two charges and fixed at two different points on the -axis are shown in the figure. These lines suggest that

Two nonconducting solid spheres of radii and having uniform volume charge densities and , respectively, touch each other. The net electric field at a distance from the centre of the smaller sphere, along the line joining the centre of the spheres, is zero. The ratio can be:


Consider a uniform spherical charge distribution of radius centred at the origin . In this distribution, a spherical cavity of radius , centred at with distance (see figure) is made. If the electric field inside the cavity at position is , then the correct statement(s) is(are)
