carrying charge ‘q’ is made to touch the spheres A and B alternately
and the moved away. By what factor does the force acting between
the two spheres change?

concentric sphere S2 of radius r2 (r2 > r,) enclosing charge 2Q, find the

these two charges.
12. Case Study Questions: 4
When electric dipole is placed in uniform electric field, its two
charges experience equal and opposite forces, which cancel each other
and hence net force on electric dipole in uniform electric field is zero.
However these forces are not collinear, so they give rise to some
torque on the dipole. Since net force on electric dipole in uniform
electric field is zero, so no work is done in moving the electric dipole
in uniform electric field. However some work is done in rotating the
dipole against the torque acting on it.

(i) The dipole moment of a dipole in a uniform external field Ē is B.


Then the torque τ acting on the dipole is
(a)τ=pxE
(b)τ=P.Ē
(c)τ=2(p+Ē)
(d) τ = (P + E)
(ii) An electric dipole consists of two opposite charges, each of
magnitude 1.0 μC separated by a distance of 2.0 cm. The dipole is
placed in an external field of 105 NC-1. The maximum torque on the
dipole is
(a) 0.2 x 10-3 Nm
(b) 1x 10-3 Nm
(c) 2 x 10-3 Nm
(d) 4x 10-3 Nm
(iii) Torque on a dipole in uniform electric field is minimum when θ
is equal to
(a) 0°
(b) 90°
(c) 180°
(d) Both (a) and (c)
(iv) When an electric dipole is held at an angle in a uniform electric
field, the net force F and torque τ on the dipole are
(a) F= 0, τ = 0
(b) F≠0, τ≠0
(c) F=0, τ ≠ 0
(d) F≠0, τ=0
OR
An electric dipole of moment p is placed in an electric field of
intensity E. The dipole acquires a position such that the axis of the
dipole makes an angle with the direction of the field. Assuming that
potential energy of the dipole to be zero when 0 = 90°, the torque
and the potential energy of the dipole will respectively be
(a)pEsinθ, –pEcosθ
(b)pEsinθ, –2pEcosθ
(c)pEsinθ, 2pEcosθ
(d) pEcosθ, – pEsinθ
13 State Gauss’s law. Derive an expression for electric field at any 5
point near a charged, infinitely long, plane sheet using Gauss’s law.
Two infinitely large plane thin parallel sheets having surface charge
densities σ1 and σ2 (σ1>σ2) are shown in the figure. Write the
magnitudes and directions of the net fields in the regions marked II
and III.
