An infinite non-conducting vertical wall carries a uniform surface charge density \(\sigma\) (positive in nature). A charged particle of mass \(m\) suspended like a pendulum-stays fixed with its string making an angle of \(45^{\circ}\) with the vertical. The charge on the particle is:

1. \(\varepsilon_{0} \cdot \dfrac{2 m g}{\sigma}\) 2. \(\varepsilon_0\text { } \cdot \dfrac{m g}{\sigma}\)
3. \(\varepsilon_{0} \cdot \dfrac{\sqrt{2} m g}{\sigma}\) 4. \(\varepsilon_{0} \cdot \dfrac{m g}{\sqrt{2} \sigma}\)

Consider electrostatic and gravitational forces among the following: electron-electron\((ee)\), electron-proton \((ep)\) & proton-proton\((pp)\). All the distances between the particles are the same. Let \(F^{gr}\) 'denote' gravitational force and \(F^{el}\) 'denote' electrostatic force and the subscripts denote the particle pairs. We consider only the magnitudes of the forces. Then:

(a) \(F_{e p}^{e l}=F_{p p}^{e l}=F_{e e}^{e l}\)
(b) \(F_{p p}^{e l}>F_{p p}^{g r}\)
(c) \(F_{e p}^{g r}<F_{e p}^{el}\)
(d) \(F_{e p}^{g r}=F_{p p}^{g r}=F_{ee}^{gr}\)

Which of the above is/are true?
1. (a) only
2. (a) and (b) only
3. (a), (b), and (c) only
4. (a) and (d) only

A thin uniform rod of mass \(M\) and length \(L\) is suspended from one of its ends, '\(A\)', so that it can rotate freely about it. A charge '\(q\)' is fixed to its lower end \(B\). A uniform horizontal Electric field is switched on and the rod rotates about \(A\), finally coming to equilibrium – making an angle of \(45^{\circ}\) with the vertical. If the acceleration due to gravity is '\(g\)', then,

1. \(qE =Mg\)
2. \(2qE =Mg\)
3. \(qE =2Mg\)
4. \(\sqrt{2}qE =Mg\)

A uniformly charged sphere carrying a charge \(Q\) distributed uniformly on its outer surface is placed in an isotropic medium of dielectric constant '\(K\)'.

The electric field within the medium due to the charge \(Q\) at some point \(P\) is \(\vec E_{Q}\). The Electric field at the same point \(P\) due to induced charge within the medium is \(\vec E_{m}\). Then,
1. \(|\vec E_m|=\left|\dfrac{\vec E_Q}{K}\right|,\) and the two fields are in opposite directions.
2. \(|\vec E_Q|=\left|\dfrac{\vec E_m}{K}\right|,\) and the two fields are in the same direction.
3. \(|\vec E_Q+\vec E_m|=\left|\dfrac{\vec E_Q}{K}\right|,\) and the two fields are in opposite directions.
4. \(|\vec E_Q+\vec E_m|=\left|\dfrac{\vec E_m}{K}\right|,\) and the two fields are in the same direction.

Identical point charges (\(q\) each), are placed at the eight corners of a cube of side \(a.\) When one of the charges is removed, the electric field at the center becomes \(E_c.\)
Now, identical point charges (same magnitude \(q\) each), are placed at the four corners of a square of side \(a.\) When one of the charges is removed, the electric field at the center becomes \(E_s.\) Then,
1. \(\dfrac{E_s}{2}=\dfrac{E_C}{3}\) 2. \(\dfrac{E_s}{3}=\dfrac{E_C}{2}\)
3. \(\dfrac{E_s}{\sqrt2}=\dfrac{E_C}{\sqrt3}\) 4. \(\dfrac{E_s}{\sqrt3}=\dfrac{E_C}{\sqrt2}\)
