Use Gauss's Law to determine the electric field at
The "Gaussian Surface" for an infinitely large charged plate is pillbox of surface area A and length centred about the origin. The plate has positive surface charge density .




Important Questions on Electric Charges and Fields

Find the dipole-moment of system

Two molecule each with permanent dipole moment are aligned as shown. Calculate the force between the molecules if they are separated by a distance that is large compared with the dimension of the dipoles.
[Hint : The relation for small is useful].

The - component of electric field at the origin will be

Two pith balls each with mass are suspended from insulating threads. When the pith balls are given equal positive charge , they hang in equilibrium as shown. We now increase the charge on the left pith ball from to while leaving its mass essentially unchanged. Which of the following diagrams best represents the new equilibrium configuration?


For two equal and opposite charges placed at distance , then electric field will be zero at

In which regions, electric field can be zero for given arrangement of an electron and two protons?
