Answer
Answer: (c)Q.7. A charge q is placed at the centre of the open end of a cylindrical vessel. The flux of the electric field through the surface of the vessel is
(a) Q / εo
(b) Q / 2εo
(c) Q / 4εo
(d) zero

Answer
Answer: (b)Q.8. Which of the following graphs correctly show the change of electric flux Φ with time t through the surface S when the charge +Q is moved away from the surface?


Answer
Answer: (c) Since electric field due to a point charge is inversely proportional to the square of distance therefore the field decreases at the place of surface S as the charge + Q moves away. Therefore the flux given by Φ=ES cosθ also decreases.Q.9. In the figure the net electric flux through the area A is Φ=ES cosθ when the system is in air. On immersing the system in water the net electric flux through the area

(a) becomes zero
(b) remains same
(c) increases
(d) decreases
Answer
Answer: (d)Q.10. An electric dipole is placed at the centre of a sphere then

(b) the electric field is zero at every point of the sphere.
(c) the electric field is not zero anywhere on the sphere.
(d) the electric field is zero on a circle on the sphere.
