In a certain charge distribution, all points having zero potential can be joined by a circle S. Points inside S have positive potential, and points outside S have a negative potential. A positive charge, which is free to move, is placed inside S. What is the correct statement about S:

A square of side ‘a’ has charge Q at its centre and charge ‘q’ at one of the corners. The work required to be done in moving the charge ‘q’ from the corner to the diagonally opposite corner is -

Two charges q₁ and q₂ are placed 30 cm apart, as shown in the figure. A third charge q₃ is moved along the arc of a circle of radius 40 cm from C to D. The change in the potential energy of the system is $\frac{q_3}{4\pi {\epsilon }_0}k$, where k is:

Two thin wire rings each having a radius R are placed at a distance d apart with their axes coinciding. The charges on the two rings are +q and –q. The potential difference between the centres of the two rings is -

A capacitor is charged by using a battery which is then disconnected. A dielectric slab is then slipped between the plates, which results in -

(1) Reduction of charge on the plates and increase of potential difference across the plates

(2) Increase in the potential difference across the plate, reduction in stored energy, but no change in the charge on the plates

(3) Decrease in the potential difference across the plates, reduction in the stored energy, but no change in the charge on the plates

(4) None of the above

(4) 0.05 Joule

The insulated spheres of radii R₁ and R₂ having charges Q₁ and Q₂ respectively are connected to each other. There is -

(1) No change in the energy of the system

(2) An increase in the energy of the system
