The electric field in a region is given by , where and are in . A charged particle is moved from the origin to the co-ordinates , first along the -axis and then along the -axis. The work done by the electric field is,


Important Questions on Electrostatics
An electric dipole having dipole moment is placed at origin along -axis. If the electric field that should be applied along -axis so that we get an equipotential spherical surface of radius centred at origin is , what is the value of ?
(Take )


Two smooth spherical non-conducting shells, each of radius and having uniformly distributed charges and on their surfaces are released on a smooth non-conducting surface when the distance between their centres is . The mass of is and that of is . The speed of just before and collide is (neglect gravitational interaction, take ),


and are two large, non-parallel metallic plates connected to a battery as shown. If and be the charge densities at points and , respectively, then,


A uniformly charged and infinitely long line having a linear charge density is placed at a normal distance from a point . Consider a sphere of radius with as centre and . Electric flux through the surface of the sphere is:
