Two opposite and equal charges $4 \times {10^{ - 8}}\,coulomb$ when placed $2 \times {10^{ - 2}}\,cm$ away, form a dipole. If this dipole is placed in an external electric field $4 \times {10^8}\,newton/coulomb$, the value of maximum torque and the work done in rotating it through $180^\circ $ will be
d (d) Dipole moment $p = 4 × 10^{-8} × 2 × 10^{-4} = 8 × 10^{-12} \,m$
Maximum torque $= pE = 8 × 10^{-12} × 4 × 10^8$
= $32 × 10^{-4} \,Nm$
Work done in rotating through $180^o = 2pE$
= $2 × 32 × 10^{-4} = 64 × 10^{-4} \,J$

The capacity of a parallel plate condenser is $15\,\mu \,F$, when the distance between its plates is $6 \,cm$. If the distance between the plates is reduced to $2\, cm$, then the capacity of this parallel plate condenser will be......$\mu \,F$
In a region, if electric field is defined as $\vec E = \left( {\hat i + 2\hat j + \hat k} \right)\,V/m$ , then the potential difference between two points $A (0, 0, 0)$ and $B (2, 3, 4)$ in that region, is ......$V$
A particle of mass $m$ and charge $q$ is placed at rest in a uniform electric field $E$ and then released. The kinetic energy attained by the particle after moving a distance $y$ is
The switch in circuit shifts from $1$ to $2$ when $V_C > 2V/3$ and goes back to $1$ from $2$ when $V_C < V/3$ . The voltmeter reads voltage as plotted. What is the period $T$ of the wave form in terms of $R$ and $C$ ?
A parallel plate capacitor is charged and then disconnected from the source of potential difference. If the plates of the condenser are then moved farther apart by the use of insulated handle, which one of the following is true?
A hollow conducting sphere is placed in an electric field produced by a point charge placed at $P$ as shown in figure. Let ${V_A},{V_B},{V_C}$ be the potentials at points $A,B$ and $C$ respectively. Then
