Why is an electric force conservative ?
A simple pendulum of period $T$ has a metal bob which is negatively charged. If it is allowed to oscillate above a positively charged metal plate, its period will
A charged particle having some mass is resting in equilibrium at a height $H$ above the centre of a uniformly charged non-conducting horizontal ring of radius $R$. The force of gravity acts downwards. The equilibrium of the particle will be stable $R$
Explain the superposition principle for static electric forces and write its general equation.
Point charge $q$ moves from point $P$ to point $S$ along the path $PQRS$ (figure shown) in a uniform electric field $E$ pointing coparallel to the positive direction of the $X - $axis. The coordinates of the points $P,\,Q,\,R$ and $S$ are $(a,\,b,\,0),\;(2a,\,0,\,0),\;(a,\, - b,\,0)$ and $(0,\,0,\,0)$ respectively. The work done by the field in the above process is given by the expression
Two point charges $Q$ each are placed at a distance $d$ apart. A third point charge $q$ is placed at a distance $x$ from mid-point on the perpendicular bisector. The value of $x$ at which charge $q$ will experience the maximum $Coulomb's force$ is ...............
