Question No: 11
Assertion : On disturbing an electric dipole in stable equillibrium in an electric field, it returns back
to its stable equillibrium orientation.
Reason : A restoring torque acts on the dipole on being disturbed from its stable equillibrium.

Question No: 14
Electric flux over an area in an electric field is the total number of electric lines of force crossing this
area.
It is measured by the product of surface area and the corresponding component of electric field
normal to the area.
