21. Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct? Sol.

(A) If the electric field due to a point charge varies as
r–2.5 instead of r–2, then the Gauss law will still be
valid
(B) The Gauss law can be used to calculate the field
distribution around an electric dipole
(C) If the electric field between two point charges is
zero somewhere, then the sign of the two charges is
the same
(D) The work done by the external force in moving a
unit positive charge from point A at potential VA to
point B at potential VB is (VB – VA).
