    This document contains a practice test on electrostatics for second year students. It has 6 multiple choice questions testing concepts like electric field lines, energy of an alpha particle in a potential difference, factors affecting capacitance, the expression for energy stored in a capacitor, and properties of selenium. It also has short answer questions about electric field and potential, differences between gravitational and electrostatic forces, definitions of dielectric constant and time constant, and why electric field lines never cross. There is one long answer question about defining electric potential or deriving the expression for potential due to a point charge.
