A dipole (\(p\)) is placed so that it is always aligned along the x-axis but it can undergo displacement along the x-axis. The dipole is placed exactly midway between two fixed charges \(-Q\) and \(Q,\) in two possible ways.
                            

Then, the dipole is:
1. stable in both \(A,B\)
2. stable in \(A\), unstable in \(B\)
3. unstable in \(A\), stable in \(B\)
4. unstable in both \(A,B\)

A parallel plate capacitor is given equal and opposite charges. The electrostatic force per unit area between the plates:
 
1. depends on the square of surface charge density.
2. depends on the separation between the plates.
3. depends directly on the plate area of each plate.
4. depends directly on the dielectric constant of the medium.

A conducting spherical shell with a radius of \(20~\text{cm}\) carries a charge of \(+5~\mu\text{C}.\) Another spherical shell, with a radius of \(10~\text{cm}\) and a charge of \(-6~\mu\text{C},\) is placed far away (large separation) from the first shell. The potential difference between the two shells is:
1. \(7.65\times10^{5}\) V 2. \(3.15\times10^{5}\) V
3. \(5.4\times10^{5}\) V 4. \(2.25\times10^{5}\) V
