$A$ positive charge $q$ is placed in a spherical cavity made in a positively charged sphere. The centres of the sphere and the cavity are displaced by a small distance $\vec{l}$. The force on charge $q$ is:

  • A
    in the direction parallel to vector $\vec{l}$.
  • B
    in radial direction.
  • C
    in a direction which depends on the magnitude of charge density in the sphere.
  • D
    direction cannot be determined.

Suppose a uniformly charged wall provides a uniform electric field of $2 \times 10^4 \ N/C$ normally. $A$ charged particle of mass $2 \ g$ is suspended by a silk thread of length $20 \ cm$ and remains at a distance of $10 \ cm$ from the wall. Then the charge on the particle will be $\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}} \ \mu C$ where $x=$ . . . . . . . (Use $g=10 \ m/s^2$)

Two point charges $A$ and $B$ of magnitude $+8 \times 10^{-6}\,C$ and $-8 \times 10^{-6}\,C$ respectively are placed at a distance $d$ apart. The electric field at the middle point $O$ between the charges is $6.4 \times 10^{4}\,NC^{-1}$. The distance $d$ between the point charges $A$ and $B$ is ............ $m$. (in $.0$)

Two large circular discs separated by a distance of $0.01 \ m$ are connected to a battery via a switch as shown in the figure. Charged oil drops of density $900 \ kg \ m^{-3}$ are released through a tiny hole at the center of the top disc. Once some oil drops achieve terminal velocity,the switch is closed to apply a voltage of $200 \ V$ across the discs. As a result,an oil drop of radius $8 \times 10^{-7} \ m$ stops moving vertically and floats between the discs. The number of electrons present in this oil drop is (neglect the buoyancy force,take acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$ and charge on an electron $e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C$):
