Two point charges $Q$ and $-Q/4$ are separated by a distance $x$. Then:

  • A
    Potential is zero at a point on the axis which is $x/3$ on the right side of the charge $-Q/4$.
  • B
    Potential is zero at a point on the axis which is $x/5$ on the left side of the charge $-Q/4$.
  • C
    Electric field is zero at a point on the axis which is at a distance $x$ on the right side of the charge $-Q/4$.
  • D
    All of the above.

An empty thick conducting shell of inner radius $a$ and outer radius $b$ is shown in the figure. If it is observed that the inner face of the shell carries a uniform charge density $-\sigma$ and the outer surface carries a uniform charge density $+\sigma$, if the inner surface of the shell is earthed, then identify the correct statement(s).

An infinite plane sheet of charge having uniform surface charge density $+\sigma_s \text{ C/m}^2$ is placed on the $x-y$ plane. Another infinitely long line charge having uniform linear charge density $+\lambda_e \text{ C/m}$ is placed at the $z=4 \text{ m}$ plane and is parallel to the $y$-axis. If the magnitude values satisfy $|\sigma_s| = 2|\lambda_e|$,then at the point $(0, 0, 2)$,the ratio of the magnitudes of the electric field values due to the sheet charge to that of the line charge is $\pi \sqrt{n} : 1$. The value of $n$ is:

An uncharged metal sphere is placed between two charged parallel plates. The pattern of the electric field lines will be:
