Three uncharged capacitors of capacities \(C_1, C_2~\text{and}~C_3\) are connected to one another as shown in the figure.
If points A, B, and D, are at potential \(V_1, V_2 ~\text{and}~V_3\) then the potential at O will be:
1. | \(\frac{V_1C_1+V_2C_2+V_3C_3}{C_1+C_2+C_3}\) | 2. | \(\frac{V_1+V_2+V_3}{C_1+C_2+C_3}\) |

Four electric charges \(+ q,\) \(+ q,\) \(- q\) and \(- q\) are placed at the corners of a square of side \(2L\) (see figure). The electric potential at point \(A\), mid-way between the two charges \(+ q\) and \(+ q\) is:
1. \(\frac{1}{4 \pi\varepsilon_{0}} \frac{2 q}{L} \left(1 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\right)\)
2. \(\frac{1}{4 \pi\varepsilon_{0}} \frac{2 q}{L} \left(1 - \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\right)\)

The electric potential at a point in free space due to a charge \(Q\) coulomb is \(Q\times10^{11}~\text{V}\). The electric field at that point is:
1. \(4\pi \varepsilon_0 Q\times 10^{22}~\text{V/m}\)
2. \(12\pi \varepsilon_0 Q\times 10^{20}~\text{V/m}\)
3. \(4\pi \varepsilon_0 Q\times 10^{20}~\text{V/m}\)
4. \(12\pi \varepsilon_0 Q\times 10^{22}~\text{V/m}\)
An electric dipole of moment \(\vec {p} \) is lying along a uniform electric field \(\vec{E}\). The work done in rotating the dipole by \(90^{\circ}\) is:

1. | maximum at \(A\) |
2. | maximum at \(B\) |
3. | maximum at \(C\) |
4. | same at all the three points \(A,B\) and \(C\) |
Three capacitors of capacitances \(3~\mu\text{F}\), \(9~\mu\text{F}\) and \(18~\mu\text{F}\) are connected once in series and another time in parallel. The ratio of equivalent capacitance in the two cases \(\frac{C_s}{C_p}\) will be:
1. \(1:15\)
2. \(15:1\)
3. \(1:1\)
4. \(1:3\)
Two charges \(q_1\) and \(q_2\) are placed \(30~\text{cm}\) apart, as shown in the figure. A third charge \(q_3\) is moved along the arc of a circle of radius \(40~\text{cm}\) from \(C\) to \(D.\) The change in the potential energy of the system is \(\dfrac{q_{3}}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} k,\) where \(k\) is:
1. | \(8q_2\) | 2. | \(8q_1\) |

Three charges \(Q\), \(+q \) and \(+q \) are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle of side \(l\) as shown in the figure. If the net electrostatic energy of the system is zero, then \(Q\) is equal to:
