Two spheres carrying charges + 6 µC and + 9 µC, separated by a distance d, experiences a force of repulsion F. When a charge of −3 μC is given to both the spheres and kept at the same distance as before, the new force of repulsion is

• $\frac{\mathrm{F}}{3}$

• F

• $\frac{\mathrm{F}}{9}$

• 3F

A spherical shell of radius 10 cm is carrying a charge q. If the electric potential at distances 5 cm, 10 cm and 15 cm from the centre of the spherical shell is V₁, V₂ and V₃ respectively, then

• V₁ = V₂ > V₃

• V₁ > V₂ > V₃

• V₁ = V₂ < V₃

• V₁ < V₂ < V₃

If there are only one type of charge in the universe, then (E → Electric field , dS → Area vector)

• $\oint \mathrm{E} \mathrm{dS} \ne 0$ on any surface

• $\oint \mathrm{E} \mathrm{dS} \mathrm{could} \mathrm{not} \mathrm{be} \mathrm{defined}$

• $\oint \mathrm{E} \mathrm{dS} = \infty$if charge is inside

• $\oint \mathrm{E} \mathrm{dS} = 0$ if charge is outside, = $\frac{\mathrm{q}}{{\mathrm{\epsilon }}_0}$ if charge is inside

An electron of mass m, charge e falls through a distance h metre in a uniform electric field E. Then, time of fall

• $\mathrm{t} = \sqrt{\frac{2\mathrm{hm}}{\mathrm{eE}}}$

• $\mathrm{t} = \frac{2\mathrm{hm}}{\mathrm{eE}}$

• $\mathrm{t} = \sqrt{\frac{2\mathrm{eE}}{\mathrm{hm}}}$

• $\mathrm{t} = \frac{2\mathrm{eE}}{\mathrm{hm}}$

If E_ax and E_eq represents electric field at a point on the axial and equatorial line of a dipole. If points are at a distance r from the centre of the dipole, for r >> a

• E_ax = E_eq

• E_ax = − E_eq

• E_ax = − 2 E_eq

• E_eq = 2 E_ax
