A Gaussian sphere encloses an electric dipole within it. The total flux across the sphere is

  • zero

  • half that due to a single charge

  • double that due to a single charge

  • dependent on the position of the dipole

Point charges + 4q, - q and+ 4q are kept on the x-axis at points x = 0, x = a and x = 2a respectively, then

  • only- q is in stable equilibrium

  • all the charges are in stable equilibrium

  • all the charges are in unstable equilibrium

  • none of the above


C.

all the charges are in unstable equilibrium

As the net force on each charge is zero, therefore all the charges are in equilibrium. If we were to displace-q to the right, the net force of attraction will be to the right which will displace it further. Therefore, the equilibrium is unstable.

  • 18 cm

  • 36 cm

  • 30 cm


167.

A charged particle moves in an electric field from A to B, then from B to A :

  • If WAB > WBA, then the field is conservative

  • If WAB + WBA = 0, then the field is conservative

  • If WAB + WBA > 0, then the field is conservative

  • If WAB = WBA, then the field is conservative


168.
