Given below are two statements:
Statement-$I$: $A$ point charge is brought into an electric field. The value of the electric field at a point near the charge may increase if the charge is positive.
Statement-$II$: An electric dipole is placed in a non-uniform electric field. The net electric force on the dipole will not be zero.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • A
    Both Statement-$I$ and Statement-$II$ are true.
  • B
    Both Statement-$I$ and Statement-$II$ are false.
  • C
    Statement-$I$ is true but Statement-$II$ is false.
  • D
    Statement-$I$ is false but Statement-$II$ is true.

$(a)$ Two large conducting spheres carrying charges $Q_{1}$ and $Q_{2}$ are brought close to each other. Is the magnitude of electrostatic force between them exactly given by $Q_{1} Q_{2} / 4 \pi \varepsilon_{0} r^{2}$,where $r$ is the distance between their centres?
$(b)$ If Coulomb's law involved $1/r^{3}$ dependence (instead of $1/r^{2}$),would Gauss's law be still true?
$(c)$ $A$ small test charge is released at rest at a point in an electrostatic field configuration. Will it travel along the field line passing through that point?
$(d)$ What is the work done by the field of a nucleus in a complete circular orbit of the electron? What if the orbit is elliptical?
$(e)$ We know that electric field is discontinuous across the surface of a charged conductor. Is electric potential also discontinuous there?

Four equal positive charges are fixed at the vertices of a square of side $L$. The $Z$-axis is perpendicular to the plane of the square. The point $z = 0$ is the point where the diagonals of the square intersect. Find the plot of the electric field $E$ due to the four charges as one moves along the $Z$-axis.

Two identical charged spheres of material density $\rho$,suspended from the same point by inextensible strings of equal length,make an angle $\theta$ between the strings. When suspended in a liquid of density $\sigma$,the angle $\theta$ remains the same. The dielectric constant $K$ of the liquid is

Three positive charges $q$ are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle. How do their electric field lines appear?

$A$ charged particle of charge $Q$ is held fixed and another charged particle of mass $m$ and charge $q$ (of the same sign) is released from a distance $r$. The impulse of the force exerted by the external agent on the fixed charge by the time the distance between $Q$ and $q$ becomes $2r$ is:
