(iv) a line charge of infinite length

8. Which of the following statement is correct? The electric field at a point is

(i) always continuous.

(ii) continuous if there is a charge at that point.
(iii) discontinuous only if there is a negative charge at that point.
(iv) discontinuous if there is a charge at that point

9. Relative permittivity of medium is depends upon

a. force between charges b. distance between charges

c. mass of charges d. none of these

9.Three point charges +q,-2q and q are placed in the space at the point (x=0,y=a,z=0),(x=0,y=0,z=0) , (x=a,

19. Assertion : If the distance between parallel plates of a capacitor is halved and dielectric constant is three
times, then the capacitance becomes 6 times.
Reason : Capacity of the capacitor does not depend upon the nature of the material.
