(i) the orientation of the dipole for which the torque acting on it becomes maximum.
9. Calculate the amount of work done in turning an clectric dipole of dipole moment 3x10 C-m
from its position of unstable equilibrium to the position of stable equilibrium in a unifom
electric field of intensity 10 N/C.
10. Deduce the expression for the torque acting on a dipole of dipole moment pin the presence of a
uniform electric field E.
11. Consider two hollow concentric spheres S, and S, enclosing charges 2Q and 4Q respectively, as
shown in the figure. (i) Findout the ratio of the electric flux through them. (ii) How will the
electric flux through them. (5) How willthe clectric flux through the spheres S, change if a
medium of dielectric constant E,is introduced in the space inside S, in place of air? Deduce the
necessary expression.
12. Two charges of magnitudes -2Q and +Q are located at points (a,0) and (4a,0), respectively.
What is the electric flux due to these charges through a sphere of radius 3a with its centre at the
origin?
16. Why there is no work done in moving a charge from one point to another on an equipotential
surface?
17. (i) Can two equipotential surfaces intersect each other? Give reasons.
(ii) Two charges - q and + q are located at points A(0, 0, - a) and B (0, 0 + a) respectively. How
much work isdone in moving atestcharge from point P(7, 0, 0) to Q(-3, 0, 0)?
18. Figure shows two identical capacitors C1 and C2, each of 2uF capacitance, connected to a
battery of 5 V. Initially, switch S is closed. After sometime, S is left open and dielectric slabs of
dielectric constantK =5 are inserted to fill completely the space between the plates of the two
capacitors. How will the (i) charge and (ii) potential difference between the plates of the
capacitors be affected after the slabs are inserted?
