    $200V-m$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$25V-m$
$F$ is not depend on the shape $\&$ size of the closed volume surface.

MCQ 21 Mark
A closed surface S is constructed around a conducting wire connected to a battery and a switch (figure). As the switch is closed, the free electrons in the wire start moving along the wire. In any time interval, the number of electrons entering the closed surface S is equal to the number of electrons leaving it. On closing the switch, the flux of the electric field through the closed surface:
  • A
    Is increased.
  • B
    Is decreased.
  • Remains unchanged.
  • D
    Remains zero.
Answer
Correct option: C.
Remains unchanged.
Explanation:

The flux of the electric field through the closed surface is remain unchanged.
Because the no. of electric field lines enter in the closed path = no. of electric field lines existsin the closed path.

MCQ 31 Mark
Figure shows a closed surface which intersects a conducting sphere. If a positive charged is placed at the point P, the flux of the electic field through the closed surface:
  • A
    Will remain zero.
  • Will become positive.
  • C
    Will become neagative.
  • D
    Will become undefined.
Answer
Correct option: B.
Will become positive.
Explanation:
Charge distribution:

Due to charge distribution, intersection by the closed surface of conducting sphere containing the positive charge. So we can say that the flux of the electric field through the closed surface will become positive.
$\therefore\phi=\frac{\text{q}_{\text{in}}}{\in_0}\Rightarrow+\text{ve}$

MCQ 41 Mark
A metallic particle having no net charge is placed near a finite metal plate carrying a positive charge. The electric force on the particle will be:
  • Towards the plate.
  • B
    Away from the plate.
  • C
    Parallel to the plate.
  • D
    Zero.
Answer
Correct option: A.
Towards the plate.
Explanation:
Plase: The electric force on the particle will be owards the plate. Because the distance bewteen attraction force is Less than the distance between repulsive force. So Attractive Force > Repulsive force.

MCQ 51 Mark
A large nonconducting sheet M is given a uniform charge density. Two uncharged small metal rods A and B are placed near the sheet as shown in figure:
  • A
    M attracts A.
  • B
    M attracts B.
  • C
    A attracts B.
  • B attracts A.
Answer
Correct option: D.
B attracts A.
Explanation:

Charge distribution or M, A & B
So, we can say that M attracts A, M attracts B, A attracts B and 'B' attracts A.

MCQ 71 Mark
A charge q is placed at the centre of the open end of a cylindrical vessel (figure). The flux of the electric field through the surface of the vessel is:
  • A
    $\text{Zero}$
  • B
    $\frac{\text{q}}{\in_0}$
  • $\frac{\text{q}}{2\in_0}$
  • D
    $\frac{2\text{q}}{\in_0}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{\text{q}}{2\in_0}$
Explanation:



In the charge 'q' in side closed cylinder, due to charge the flux of the electric field through the surface of the vessel is $\frac{\text{q}}{\in_0}.$ Here A charge q is placed at the centre of the open end of a cylindrical, By symmetricily Half line of flux goes outside & half flux line goes inside. So we can say that the flux of the electric field through the surface of the vessel is $\frac{\text{q}}{2\in_0}.$

    $ 5 \mathrm{Vm}^{-1}$
  • C
    $10 \mathrm{Vm}^{-1} $
  • D
    $20 \mathrm{Vm}^{-1}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
Zero

MCQ 121 Mark
A positive point charge Q is brought near an isolated metal cube.
  • A
    The cube becomes negatively charged.
  • B
    The cube becomes positively charged.
  • C
    The interior becomes positively charged and the surface becomes negatively charged.
  • The interior remains charge free and the surface gets nonuniform charge distribution.
Answer
Correct option: D.
The interior remains charge free and the surface gets nonuniform charge distribution.
Explanation:
A positive point charge Q is brought near an 'Isolated metal cube'. So charge distributed on the surface of isolated metal is non uniformly and the interior remains charge free.
