Two equal negative charges $-\, q$ each are fixed at the points $(0, a)$ and $(0, -a)$ on the $Y$ -axis. A positive charge $Q$ is released from rest at the point $(2a, 0)$ on the $X$ -axis. The charge $Q$ will :-
execute simple harmonic motion about the origin
move to the origin and remains at rest
move to infinity
execute oscillatory but not simple harmonic motion
A cube of side $'a'$ has point charges $+Q$ located at each of its vertices except at the origin where the charge is $- Q$. The electric field at the centre of cube is
Five charges, $\mathrm{q}$ each are placed at the corners of a regular pentagon of side $\mathrm{'a'}$ as in figure.
$(a)$ $(i)$ What will be the electric field at $O$, the centre of the pentagon ?
$(ii)$ What will be the electric field at $O$ if the charge from one of the corners (say $A$ $)$ is removed ?
$(iii)$ What will be the electric field at $O $ if the charge $q$ at $A$ is replaced by$ -q$ ?
$(b) $ How would your answer to $(a)$ be affected if pentagon is replaced by $n\,-$ sided regular polygon with charge $q$ at each of its corners ?
Two identical point charges are placed at a separation of $d$. $P$ is a point on the line joining the charges, at a distance $x$ from any one charge. The field at $P$ is $E$, $E$ is plotted against $x$ for values of $x$ from close to zero to slightly less than $d$. Which of the following represents the resulting curve
The point charges $Q$ and $-2Q$ are placed at some distance apart. If the electric field at the location of $Q$ is $\vec E$ , then the electric field at the location of $-2Q$ will be :
A uniformly charged disc of radius $R$ having surface charge density $\sigma$ is placed in the ${xy}$ plane with its center at the origin. Find the electric field intensity along the $z$-axis at a distance $Z$ from origin :-
