Two point charges $q_1$ and $q_2 (=q_1/2)$ are placed at points $A(0, 1)$ and $B(1, 0)$ as shown in the figure. The electric field vector at point $P(1, 1)$ makes an angle $\theta$ with the $x$-axis,then the angle $\theta$ is

  • A
    $\tan^{-1}(1/2)$
  • B
    $\tan^{-1}(1/4)$
  • C
    $\tan^{-1}(1)$
  • D
    $\tan^{-1}(0)$

Two uniform spherical charge regions $S_1$ and $S_2$ having positive and negative charges overlap each other as shown in the figure. Points $O_1$ and $O_2$ are their centres and points $A, B, C, D$ and $E$ are on the line joining centres $O_1$ and $O_2$. What happens to the electric field from $C$ to $D$?

The point charges $+q, -q, -q, +q, +Q$ and $-q$ are placed at the vertices of a regular hexagon $ABCDEF$ as shown in the figure. The electric field at the centre of the hexagon '$O$' due to the five charges at $A, B, C, D$ and $F$ is twice the electric field at centre '$O$' due to charge $+Q$ at $E$ alone. The value of $Q$ is

$A$ wire of length $L = 20 \, cm$ is bent into a semicircular arc. If the two equal halves of the arc are uniformly charged with charges $+Q$ and $-Q$ respectively,where $|Q| = 10^3 \varepsilon_0$ Coulomb and $\varepsilon_0$ is the permittivity of free space,find the net electric field at the centre $O$ of the semicircular arc.
