Electric field
[Link] figure two positive charges q2 and q3 fixed along the y-axis, exert a net electric force in the.
x- direction on a charge q1 fixed along the x-axis. If a positive charge is added at (x, 0) the force
on q1
a) shall increase along the positive raxis
(b) shall decrease along the positive -axis (c) shall grant along the negative a
(d) shall increase but the direction changes because of the intersection of Q with q2, and q3
[Link] the diagram shown below
(a) field strength at P is less than field strength at Q
(b) field strength at P and Q are equal
(C) field is more strong at P and less strong at Q
(d) cannot be tell from the figure
3.A point positive charge is brought near an isolated conducting sphere (figure). The electric
field is best given by
4.A point charge is placed at a distance d from an isolated conducting plane. The field at a point
P on the other side of the plane is
(a) directed perpendicular to the plane and away from the plane
(b) directed perpendicular to the plane but towards the plane
(c) directed radially away from the point charge
(d) directed radially towards the peut charge

[Link] point charges of +3uC each are 100 cm apart. At what point on the line joining the
charges will the electric field intensity be zero?
[Link] electrostatic field be normal to the surface at every point of a charged conductor?
[Link] do the electric field lines not form closed loops?
[Link] dimensions of an Delhi 2015 of the order of an angstrom. Thus, there must be large
electric fields between the protons and electrons. Why
When is the electrostatic field inside a conductor zero?
[Link] charges, q each are placed at the corners of regular pentagon of side a as shown in the
figure.
(a) What will be the electric field at O, the centre of the pentagon?
(b) What will be the electric field at O, if the charge from one of the corners (say 4) is removed?
(c) What will be the electric field at O, if the charge at A is replaced by -q
(ii) How would your answer be affected, if pentagon is replaced by a-sided regular polygon with
charge q at each of its corners?
