ELECTRIC CHARGES AND FIELDS
(c) the number of flux lines entering the surface must be equal to the number of flux lines
leaving it.
Ans. (c) and (d): Flux in Gaussian surface is zero. So the net charge inside the closed surface
either is zero or charges are outside the surface. If charge or charges are outside the
Gaussian surface, then entering leaving lines of electric field will be equal so net flux (lines of
electric filed) is zero verifies answers (c) and (d).
Ans. (b) and (d): Either positive or negative charges will interact the lines of electric field so
makes the electric field discontinuous.
If there is no any charge inside the electric field then the lines will not be affected. So electric
1.10 If there were only one type of charge in the universe, then
Ans. (b) and (d): If a charge q is enclosed inside Gaussian surface then (d) is true.
If Gaussian surface (or space) is outside the charge and (c) and (a) are not true.
1.11 Consider a region inside which there are various types of charges but the total
charge is zero. At points outside the region
(b) the electric field is due to the dipole moment of the charge distribution only.
(c) the dominant electric field is , for large ‘r’, where ‘r’ is the distance of point (outside)
(d) the work done to move a charged particle along a closed path, away from the region, will
be zero.
Ans. (c) and (d): Although net charge in a dipole is zero but its electric field is proportional
to . Work done again electric field is conservative, so net work done in a closed loop is
Ans. (a) and (c): (a) is true by Gauss’s law. Here net charge = -2Q + Q.
(b) is the electric field on a conducting sphere. There is no any conducting sphere but only
surface or spherical space is there.
5Q charge outside the Gaussian surface will not contribute to electric flux in Gaussian
surface (or space).
For (d), the distance of Gaussian surface from -2Q is different, so field will not be same on the
surface.
(b) If q < 0 and is displaced away from the centre in the plane of the ring, it will never return
to the centre and will continue moving till it hits the ring.
(c) If q < 0, it will perform S.H.M for small displacement along the axis.
(d) q at the centre of the ring is in an unstable equilibrium within the plane of the ring for q >
0.
For d, charge is uniformly distributed along the ring. It is not sphere in which charge is only
outside. So, positive charge of ring will interact equally a charge placed at centre of ring but
will be in unstable equilibrium.
For c, if q is displaced slightly (or small), it will perform S.H.M and stops at centre.
