Two identical conductors of copper and aluminium are placed in an identical electric field. The magnitude of induced charge in the aluminum will be

Two spherical conductors B and C having equal radii and carrying equal charges in them repel each other with a force F when kept apart at some distance. A third spherical conductor having same radius as that of B but uncharged is brought in contact with B, then brought in contact with C and finally removed away from both. The new force of repulsion between B and C is:

1. F/4

2. 3 F/4

3. F/8

4. 3 F/8

Two equally charged, identical metal spheres A and B repel each other with a force 'F'. The spheres are kept fixed with a distance 'r' between them. A third identical, but uncharged sphere C is brought in contact with A and then placed at the mid-point of the line joining A and B. The magnitude of the net electric force on C is 

(1) F

(2) 3F/4

(3) F/2

(4) F/4

An infinite number of charges, each of charge 1 μC, are placed on the x-axis with co-ordinates x = 1, 2, 4, 8, ....∞. If a charge of 1 C is kept at the origin, then what is the net force acting on 1 C charge?

A charge q is placed at the centre of the line joining two equal charges Q. The system of the three charges will be in equilibrium, if q is equal to 

(1) $-\frac{Q}{2}$

(2) $-\frac{Q}{4}$

(3) $+\frac{Q}{4}$

(4) $+\frac{Q}{2}$ 

The figure shows the electric lines of force emerging from a charged body. If the electric fields at A and B are E_A and E_B respectively and if the distance between A and B is r, then:

1. \(E_{A}~>~E _{B}\)
2. \(E_{A}~<~E _{B}\)
3. \(E_{A}~=~\frac{E_{B}}{r^{}}\)
4. \(E_{A}~=~\frac{E_{B}}{r^{2}}\)

\(ABC\) is an equilateral triangle. Charges \(+q\)  are placed at each corner. The electric intensity at \(O\) will be:

3. zero
4. \(\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon _0}\frac{3q}{r^{2}}\)

The magnitude of electric field intensity E is such that, an electron placed in it would experience an electrical force equal to its weight is given by 

(1) mge

(2) $\frac{mg}{e}$

(3) $\frac{e}{mg}$

A charge particle is free to move in an electric field. It will travel 

(1) Always along a line of force

(2) Along a line of force, if its initial velocity is zero

(3) Along a line of force, if it has some initial velocity in the direction of an acute angle with the line of force

(4) None of the above
