Important Questions on Electrostatics

Two-point charges of the same magnitude and opposite sign are fixed at points and . A third small point charge is to be balanced at point by the electrostatic force due to these two charges. The point

Two-point charges and whose magnitudes are the same are positioned at a certain distance from each other with at the origin. The graph is drawn between electric field strength at points between and and distance from . is taken positive if it is along the line joining from to . From the graph, it can be decided that


A charged particle is shot from a large distance with speed towards a fixed charged particle . It approaches upto the closest distance and then returns. If were given a speed , the closest distance of approach would be:

For an infinite line of charge having charge density lying along -axis, the work required in moving charge from to along arc is:

Two short electric dipoles are placed as shown ( is the distance between their centre). The energy of electric interaction between these dipoles will be
( is centre of dipole of moment )

A charge is placed at the centre of the cubical vessel (with one face open) as shown in the figure. The flux of the electric field through the surface of the vessel is
