Important Questions on Coulomb's Law and Electric Field


In arrangement shown in figure, two positive charges, each are fixed. Mark the correct statement (s) regarding a third charged particle placed at the midpoint that can be displaced along or perpendicular to the line connecting the charges.

We have two electric dipoles. Each dipole consists of two equal and opposite point charges at the ends of an insulating rod of length The dipoles sit along the -axis a distance apart, oriented as shown in the figure.
Their separation The dipole on the left:

In a uniformly charged dielectric sphere, a very thin tunnel has been made along the diameter as shown in figure. A charge particle having mass is released from rest at one end of the tunnel. For the situation described, mark the correct statement(s). (Neglect gravity.)



Consider two identical charges placed distance apart, along the -axis (see figure). The equilibrium of a positive test charge placed at point midway between them is,
