zero.


Important Questions on Electrostatics
An infinitely long thin non-conducting wire is parallel to the -axis and carries a uniform line charge density . It pierces a thin non-conducting spherical shell of radius in such a way that the arc subtends an angle at the centre of the spherical shell, as shown in the figure. The permittivity of free space is . Which of the following statements (are) true?

Two non-conducting spheres of radii and and carrying uniform volume charge densities and , respectively, are placed such that they partially overlap, as shown in the figure. At all points in the overlapping region

A point charge is placed just outside an imaginary hemispherical surface of radius as shown in the figure. Which of the following statements is/are correct?


Two small particles and having masses each and charge respectively, are connected at the ends of a non-conducting, flexible and inextensible string of length . Particle A is fixed and is whirled along a vertical circle with centre at A. If a vertically upward electric field of strength exists in the space, the minimum velocity of the particle at the highest position is (in ) so that it may just complete the circle. (Approximate the answer to the nearest integer.)

Two charged particles and are placed in a gravity free space where a uniform electric field exists as shown in figure. After the particles are released they stay at a constant distance from each other. What is the square of distance between them in meter-square? (Neglected the gravitational interaction, take metre-square)
