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 charge '\(q\)' is uniformly distributed within a spherical volume of radius \(R\). A negative point charge \(q'\) is placed at the centre of this sphere so that the electric field of the overall distribution (i.e. \(q\) and \(q'\) together) – vanishes at the mid-point of the radius of the sphere.
              
If the potential at the surface of the sphere with '\(q\) alone' is \(V_1\) and with \(q\), \(q'\) together is \(V_2\), then:
1. \(\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{2}{1}\)

2. \(\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{4}{3}\)

3. \(\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{4}{1}\)

4. \(\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{8}{7}\)

Three concentric spherical conducting shells of radii \(a,b,\) and \(c~(a<b<c)\) are placed as shown. Let \(C_{ab}\) be the capacitance when \(a\) and \(b\) spheres are charged with \(+Q,-Q\) and similarly, let \(C_{bc}\) be the capacitance between \(b\) and \(c\) spheres while \(C_{ac}\) be the capacitance between \(a\) and \(c\) sphere. Then:
               
1. \(C_{ab}+C_{bc}=C_{ac}\)

2. \(\dfrac{1}{C_{ab}}+\dfrac{1}{C_{bc}}=\dfrac{1}{C_{ac}}\)

3. \(\sqrt{C_{ab}\cdot C_{bc}}=C_{ac}\)

4. \(C_{ab}-C_{bc}=C_{ac}\)

Two identical capacitors, each of capacitance \(C\), are connected in series and are charged by means of an ideal battery of emf \(E\). They are disconnected and reconnected in parallel and connected to the same battery. During this reconnection, the positive terminals of the capacitors are connected to the positive terminal of the battery and their negative terminals are similarly connected together. Let, the work done by the battery during the first connection be \(W_1\), and during the second be \(W_2\). Then,
1. \(W_1=W_2\)
2. \(2W_1 =W_2\)
3. \(W_1 = 2W_2\)
4. \(4W_1 = W_2\)
