16. (a) Due to polarization of the insulator rod AB, the point charge +q 1 will be acted upon, in addition to the
point charge - q2, by the polarization charges formed at the ends of the rod
The attractive force exerted by the negative charge induced at the end A will be stronger than the
repulsive force exerted by the positive charge induced at the end B. Thus, the total force acting on the
charge +q1 will increase.

Final tension : T2 cos = mg or T2 ; Obviously, T2 > mg.

Here we have assumed q to be small so that F is almost horizontal.
18. (b)
There exists a point P on the x-axis (other than the origin), where not electric field is zero. Once the
charge Q reaches point P, attractive forces of the two −ve charge will dominate and automatically cause
the charge Q to cross the origin.
Now if Q is projected with just enough velocity to reach P, its K.E. at P is zero,
But while being attracted towards origin it acquires K.E. and hence its net energy at the origin is positive.
(P.E. at origin = zero).

21. (d) The path is a parabola, because initial velocity can be resolved into two rectangular components, one
along E and other to E . The former decreases at a constant rate and latter is unaffected. The resultant path
is therefore a parabola.
