1.(C) Electric field lines due to a straight, infinite, uniformly charged wire have cylindrical symmetry.
Q h
A wire of length h will send out a total flux 0  
0 0
This flux will be distributed symmetrically over an angle of 360 around the
wire. Consider the top view of the given figure.
It is easy to see that side AB subtends an angle of 30 at the top point of charged
30 h
wire. Hence, flux through surface ABCD is :   0 
360 120
2.(D) It is common knowledge that electric field reduces r times if vacuum is replaced by a dielectric medium
of relative permittivity r . But the result is valid only in a specific case where the complete medium
between two equipotential surfaces is filled with the medium. It is NOT valid for any dielectric piece of any
general shape. Hence (B) is not correct. At the best, we can say that after placing the dielectric, the net
electric field at P will be somewhat less that E0, but its exact value will depend on the shape/size etc. of
dielectric.
3.(A) If an electric field line makes an angle  with x-axis, then,
dy Ey
tan   and tan  
dx Ex
Ey dy
Equating, tan   
Ex dx
This equation can be used to find the equation of electric field lines.

4.(CD) From the figure, it is clear that radius of curvature at P is smaller than Q.
R1  R2
Also, we know that for an isolated conductor, surface charge density is greater at points with lesser radius
of curvature. So, 1   2

Electric field just outside the surface of conductor is . Hence, E1  E2
0

2
Electrostatic pressure is P  Hence, (D) is correct.
2 0
Note that (A) is incorrect because relation 1R1  2 R2 is true only for case of two distant spheres,
connected by wire. It is not in general valid for a conductor of arbitrary shape. The case of two spheres is
often given in books to indicate that  decreases with R, but the exact relation R  const is not correct.

5.(AD) Some non-uniform charges will be induced on the dielectric medium as shown in figure.

By superposition principle, force of interaction between +1C and –1C will be independent of the presence
K (1)(1) 9 109
of any other charges. Hence this force will be: F  N
82 64
Net electrostatic force on one point charge will be altered due to the presence of charges induced on
dielectric. For example, net force acting on +1C will be:
(a) Attractive, due to induced negative charge (b) Repulsive, due to induced positive charge
9 109
(c) Attractive, due to –1C
64
Force in (a) will be somewhat greater than (b) because it is nearer.
9 109
Hence, Net electrostatic force on +1C will be somewhat greater than N.
64
6.(AC) (a) In CoM reference frame, K.E. +P.E. is conserved.
(b) Since net force acting on any one of the charges is non-zero, the reference frame attached to it is
not inertial.
(c) Electrostatic force will be along the line joining the charges. Also, pseudo force (applied since we
are using non-inertial frame) will also be along the joining line. Hence in reference frame of one
charge, torque on the other charge will be zero. Hence, L will be conserved.
(d) Due to work done by pseudo force, K.E. + P.E. will not be conserved .

7.(3) At a height y from the base, take a slice of thickness dy and side length x. Then, dR 

8.(2) By symmetry, all branches lying in the plane perpendicular to side AB can be removed. Let the midpoints
of sides AD and BD be P and Q.
x
Then, If RAB  x , then RPQ 
2
Where RPQ  Equivalent resistance of infinite circuit that remains if
you remove the outermost tetrahedron.
So, replacing the infinite circuit after PQ by x/2
If resistance of one side is r, then,

Solving the above circuit and using RAB  x

gives RAB  2
9.(2) The circuit has transverse symmetry. Hence the current in various branches may be marked as shown,
The two resistors carrying i3 are in series and their combination is in parallel with right – side 2r.
Similarly, the two resistors carrying i4 are in series and their combination is in parallel with left-side 2r.

This reduces to:
