Accelerated left ward
d (d) Electric field is directed right ward (higher potential of $-200\, V $ to lower potential of $-400\, V$). When electron left free in an electric it accelerates opposite to the electric field. Hence in the given case electron accelerates left ward.

When three electric dipoles are near each other, they each experience the electric field of the other two, and the three dipole system has a certain potential energy. Figure below shows three arrangements $(1)$ , $(2)$ and $(3)$ in which three electric dipoles are side by side. All three dipoles have the same magnitude of electric dipole moment, and the spacings between adjacent dipoles are identical. If $U_1$ , $U_2$ and $U_3$ are potential energies of the arrangements $(1)$ , $(2)$ and $(3)$ respectively then
The space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is filled with a 'dielectric' whose 'dielectric constant' varies with distance as per the relation:
$K(x) = K_0 + \lambda x$ ( $\lambda =$ constant)
The capacitance $C,$ of the capacitor, would be related to its vacuum capacitance $C_0$ for the relation
There is a uniform electrostatic field in a region. The potential at various points on a small sphere centred at $P$, in the region, is found to vary between in the limits $589.0\,V$ to $589.8\, V$. What is the potential at a point on the sphere whose radius vector makes an angle of $60^o$ with the direction of the field ?........$V$
The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor with air as medium is $6\, \mu F$. With the introduction of a dielectric medium, the capacitance becomes $30\, \mu F$. The permittivity of the medium is..........$C ^{2} N ^{-1} m ^{-2}$
$\left(\varepsilon_{0}=8.85 \times 10^{-12} C ^{2} N ^{-1} m ^{-2}\right)$
