4. A point charge is kept at the centre of metallic insulated spherical shell. Then ?

electric potential inside the sphere is zero

electric field inside the sphere is zero

5. The electric field at a point on equatorial line of a dipole and direction of the dipole moment ?

are not related

will be perpendicular

will be in opposite direction

will be parallel

Answer: will be in opposite direction

Explanation:


6. The formation of a dipole is due to two equal and dissimilar point charges placed at a ?

above each other

short distance

long distance

none of these

Answer: short distance

Explanation:


7. Debye is the unit of ?

electric dipole moment

electric potential

electric field intensity

electric flux

Answer: electric dipole moment

Explanation:

The debye is a CGS unit (a non-SI metric unit) of electric dipole moment named in honour of the physicist Peter J. W. Debye. It is defined as 1×10^?18 statcoulomb-centimeters.


8. The Gaussian surface ?

can pass through any system of discrete charges.

can pass through a continuous charge distribution as well as any system of discrete charges.

can pass through a continuous charge distribution.

cannot pass through a continuous charge distribution.

Answer: can pass through a continuous charge distribution.

Explanation:

Gaussian surface cannot pass through any discrete charge because electric field due to a system of discrete charges is not well defined at the location of the charges. But the Gaussian surface can pass through a continuous charge distribution.


9. What happens when some charge is placed on a soap bubble ?

Its radius increases

The bubble collapses

Its radius decreases

None of these

Answer: Its radius increases

Explanation:

When the charge is placed on the soap bubble, every part of the surface of the soap bubble has the same charge. So every part of the surface of the soap bubble will repel every other part of the surface which will increase the size (and hence radii) of the soap bubble.


10. The conservation of electric charge implies that ?

Charge can’t be destroyed

The number of charged particle in the universe is constant

Simultaneous creation of equal and opposite charges is permissible

Charge can’t be created

Answer: Simultaneous creation of equal and opposite charges is permissible

Explanation:
