Important Questions on Electrostatics
Figure shows a closed surface which intersects a conducting sphere. If a positive charge is placed at the point P, the flux of the electric field through the closed surface:

An ellipsoidal cavity is carved within a perfect conductor. A positive charge is placed at the centre of the cavity. The points are on the cavity surface as shown in the figure.


The figure shows the current in a single-loop circuit with a battery and resistance (and wires of negligible resistance). Then find the order of following at the point and .
(a) The magnitude of the current,
(b) The electric potential, and
(c) The electric potential energy of the charge carriers (electron), the greatest first.


The magnitude of electric force on charge placed at the centre of two equilateral triangles each of side , as shown in the figure is . If charge and are respectively, then is:


Two-point charges of the same magnitude and opposite sign are fixed at points and . A third small point charge is to be balanced at point by the electrostatic force due to these two charges. The point
