Electric charges of $ + 10\,\mu C,\; + 5\,\mu C,\; - 3\,\mu C$ and $ + 8\,\mu C$ are placed at the corners of a square of side $\sqrt 2 \,m$. the potential at the centre of the square is
A$1.8\, V$
B$1.8 \times {10^6}$ $V$
C$1.8 \times {10^5}$ $V$
D$1.8 \times {10^4}$ $V$

C$1.8 \times {10^5}$ $V$
c (c) Length of each side of square is $\sqrt 2 \,m$ so distance of it’s centre from each corner is $\frac{{\sqrt 2 }}{{\sqrt 2 }} = 1\,m.$
Potential at the centre
$V = 9 \times {10^9}\left[ {\frac{{10\, \times {{10}^{ - 6}}}}{1} + \frac{{5 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}}}{1} - \frac{{3 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}}}{1} + \frac{{8 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}}}{1}} \right]$
$= 1.8 \times 10^5 \,V$

A capacitor with plate separation $d$ is charged to $V$ volts. The battery is disconnected and a dielectric slab of thickness $\frac{d}{2}$ and dielectric constant ' $2$ ' is inserted between the plates. The potential difference across its terminals becomes
An empty thick conducting shell of inner radius $a$ and outer radius $b$ is shown in figure.If it is observed that the inner face of the shell carries a uniform charge density $-\sigma$ and the surface carries a uniform charge density $ '\sigma '$
If another point charge $q_B$ is also placed at a distance $c ( > b) $ the center of shell, then choose the correct statements
Two point dipoles of dipole moment ${\vec P_1}$ and ${\vec P_2}$ are at a distance $x$ from each other and ${\vec P_1}$ || ${\vec P_2}$. The force between the dipoles is
As per this diagram a point charge $ + q$ is placed at the origin $O$. Work done in taking another point charge $ - Q$ from the point $A$ [co-ordinates $(0,\,a)$] to another point $B$ [co-ordinates $(a, 0)$] along the straight path $AB$ is
Three identical small electric dipoles are arranged parallel to each other at equal separation a as shown in the figure. Their total interaction energy is $U$. Now one of the end dipole is gradually reversed, how much work is done by the electric forces.
Four identical plates $1, 2, 3$ and $4$ are placed parallel to each other at equal distance as shown in the figure. Plates $1$ and $4$ are joined together and the space between $2$ and $3$ is filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant $k$ $=$ $2$. The capacitance of the system between $1$ and $3$ $\&$ $2$ and $4$ are $C_1$ and $C_2$ respectively. The ratio $\frac{{{C_1}}}{{{C_2}}}$ is
