• $\frac{{\mathrm{Eq}}^2\mathrm{m}}{2{\mathrm{t}}^2}$

• None of these

Identify the wrong statement in the following. Coulomb's law correctly described the electric force that

• binds the electrons of an atom to its nucleus

• binds the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom

• binds atoms together to form molecules

• binds atoms and molecules to form solids

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

A comb run through one's dry hair attracts small bits of paper. This is due to

• comb is a good conductor

• paper is a good conductor

• the atoms in the paper get polarised by the charged comb

• the comb possesses magnetic properties
