$A$ positive charge $q$ is placed at the centre of a neutral hollow cylindrical conducting shell with its cross-section as shown in the figure below. Which one of the following figures correctly indicates the induced charge distribution on the conductor? (Ignore edge effects)

An electric dipole is placed in the north-south direction inside a sphere filled with water. Which statement is correct?

Explain the electric field lines and the magnitude of the electric field.

$A$ point charge $q$ is placed at a distance $\frac{a}{2}$ directly above the centre of a square of side $a$. The electric flux through the square is

Why do electric field lines not form closed loops?

$A$ disk of radius $a/4$ having a uniformly distributed charge $6 \text{ C}$ is placed in the $x-y$ plane with its centre at $(-a/2, 0, 0)$. $A$ rod of length $a$ carrying a uniformly distributed charge $8 \text{ C}$ is placed on the $x$-axis from $x = a/4$ to $x = 5a/4$. Two point charges $-7 \text{ C}$ and $3 \text{ C}$ are placed at $(a/4, -a/4, 0)$ and $(-3a/4, 3a/4, 0)$,respectively. Consider a cubical surface formed by six surfaces $x = \pm a/2, y = \pm a/2, z = \pm a/2$. The electric flux through this cubical surface is
