    This document contains 6 multiple choice questions related to electrostatics. The questions cover topics such as the direction of electric force on charges based on their position, the location where a third charge will experience no net force, calculating net electric force on a charge in an equilateral triangle configuration, finding the point of zero net electric field between two charges, and identifying correct assertions and reasons regarding properties of electrostatic force, dielectric constant, charge distribution on conductors, charging by induction, quantization of charge, and direction of electric field at a conductor surface.

    1. In given figure, two positive charges q2 and q3 fixed along the y axis, exert a net electric force in
    the + x direction on a charge q1 fixed along the x axis. If a positive charge Q is added at (x, 0), the
    force on q1

    (a) shall increase along the positive x-axis


    (b) shall decrease along the positive x-axis
    (c) shall point along the negative x-axis
    (d) shall increase but the direction changes because of the intersection of Q with q2 and q3

    2. Two charges q and –3q are placed fixed on x-axis separated by distance ‘d’. Where should a third charge 2q be
    placed such that it will not experience any force?

    3. Three charges q1 = 1 µC, q2 = – 2 µC and q3 = 3 µC are placed on the vertices of an equilateral triangle of side
    1.0 m. Find the net electric force acting on charge q1 .

    4. Two positive point charges q1 = 16 µC and q2 = 4 µC, are separated in vacuum by a distance of 3.0 m. Find the
    point on the line between the charges where the net electric field is zero.

    5. Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) as given below.
    a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
    b) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
    c) A is true but R is false
    d) A is false and R is also false

    (i) Assertion (A): The electrostatics force increases with decrease the distance between the charges.
    Reason (R): The electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion between any two stationary point charges is inversely
    proportional to the square of the distance between them.

    (ii) Assertion (A): The Coulomb force between two points charges depend upon the dielectric constant of the
    intervening medium.
    Reason (R): Coulomb’s force varies inversely with the dielectric constant of medium.

    (iii) Assertion (A): The charge given to a metallic sphere does not depend on whether it is hollow or solid
    Reason (R): The charge resides only at the surface of conductor.

    (iv) Assertion (A): A comb run through one’s dry hair attracts small bits of paper.
    Reason(R): Molecules in the paper gets polarized by the charged comb resulting in net force of attraction

    (v) Assertion(A): The total amount of charge on a body equal to 4 x 10-19 C is not possible.
    Reason(R): Experimentally it is established that all free charges are integral multiples of a basic unit of charge
    denoted by e. Thus, charge q on a body is always given by q = ne.

    (vi) Assertion(A): Electric field at the surface of a charged conductor is always normal to the surface at every
    point.
    Reason(R): Electric field gives the magnitude & direction of electric force (F) experienced by any charge placed
    at any point.
