Four short dipoles, each of dipole moment , are placed at the vertices of a square of side . The direction of the dipole moments are shown in the figure.

Figure shows a charge placed at the centre of the open face of a cylinder as shown in the figure. A second charge is placed at one of the positions and , out of which positions and are lying on a straight line parallel to the open face of the cylinder. In which position(s) of this second charge, the flux of the electric field through the cylinder remains unchanged?

A long cylindrical volume (of radius ) contains a uniformly distributed charge of density . Consider a point inside the cylindrical volume at a distance from its axis as shown in the figure. Here can be more than or less than . Electric field at point is:

An imaginary closed surface is constructed around a neutral conducting wire connected to a battery and a switch as shown in the figure. As the switch is closed, the free electrons in the wire start moving along the wire. In any time interval, the number of electrons entering the closed surface is equal to the number of electrons leaving it. On closing the switch, the flux of the electric field through the closed surface:
