Important Questions on Electrostatics

Find the electric field at point (as shown in figure) on the perpendicular bisector of a uniformly charged thin wire of length carrying a charge . The distance of the point from the centre of the rod is

Given below are two statements
Statement : An electric dipole is placed at the centre of a hollow sphere. The flux of electric field through the sphere is zero, but the electric field is not zero anywhere in the sphere.
Statement : If is the radius of a solid metallic sphere and be the total charge on it. The electric field at any point on the spherical surface of radius is zero but the electric flux passing through this closed spherical surface of radius is not
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
