Important Questions on Electric Charges and Fields

(figures are schematic and not drawn to scale)


Point charges and are located at the vertices of a square with diagonals as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the electric field strength at a point, located symmetrically with respect to the vertices of the square at a distance from its center is


The electric field lines on the left have twice the separation on those on the right as shown in figure. If the magnitude of the field at is , what is the force on charge kept at

Charges and are at points and of a right-angled triangle . The resultant electric field at point is perpendicular to the hypotenuse, then is proportional to:

A cube of side has point charges located at each of its vertices except at the origin where the charge is The electric field at the centre of cube is:






Figure shows three arrangements of electric field lines. In each arrangement, a proton is released from rest at point A and then accelerated through point B by the electric field. Points A and B have equal separations in the three arrangements. If and are linear momentum of the proton at point B in the three arrangement respectively, then

A point charge is placed at the corner of a cube of side as shown in the figure. What is the electric flux through the face ?



A charge is placed at one corner of a cube as shown in figure. The flux of electrostatic field through the shaded area is:


Let the respective electric fluxes through the surfaces be and . Then:
