Topic: Electric Charges Duration: 20min

Answer the following

1. A point charge q is at a distance 5 cm directly above the
centre of a square of side 10 cm as shown in the figure. The
magnitude of the electric flux through the square is
1
a) b) c) d)

2. a) Define torque acting on a dipole of dipole moment ⃗ placed in a uniform electric

field ⃗. Express it in the vector form and point out the direction along which it acts.
b) What happens if the field is non-uniform? 5
c) With a diagram, explain what would happen if the external field ⃗ is increasing
(i) parallel to ⃗ and (ii) anti-parallel to ⃗?

3. A small conducting sphere of radius ‘r’ carrying a charge ‘+q’ is surrounded by a

large concentric conducting shell of radius R on which a charge ‘+Q’ is placed. Using
Gauss’ law derive the expression for the electric field at a point ‘x’ 4
(i) between the sphere and the shell (r < x < R)
(ii) outside the spherical shell
