A table tennis ball that has been covered with conducting paint is suspended by a silk thread so that it hangs between two plates, out of which one is earthed and other is connected to a high voltage generator. This ball
(1) Is attracted towards high voltage plate and stays there
(2) Hangs without moving
(3) Swing backward and forward hitting each plate in turn
(4) Is attracted to the earthed plate and stays there
Two equal charges q of opposite sign separated by a distance 2a constitute an electric dipole of dipole moment p. If P is a point at a distance r from the centre of the dipole and the line joining the centre of the dipole to this point makes an angle θ with the axis of the dipole, then the potential at P is given by (r >> 2a) (Where p = 2qa)

A charge \(+q\) is fixed at each of the points ..... infinite, on the \(x\)-axis, and a charge \(-q\) is fixed at each of the points ,..... infinite. Here \(x_0\) is a positive constant. Take the electric potential at a point due to a charge \(Q\) at a distance \(r\) from it to be \(\frac{Q}{4\pi \varepsilon_0 r}\). Then, the potential at the origin due to the above system of charges is:
1. \(0\)
2. \(\frac{q}{8 \pi \varepsilon_{0} x_{0} \mathrm{ln} 2}\)
3. \(\infty\)
4. \(\frac{q \mathrm{ln} 2}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0} x_{0}}\)
Point charge q moves from point P to point S along the path PQRS (figure shown) in a uniform electric field E pointing co-parallel to the positive direction of the x-axis. The coordinates of the points P, Q, R, and S are and (0, 0, 0) respectively. The work done by the field in the above process is given by the expression
