Five balls numbered $1$ to $5$ are suspended using separate threads. Pairs $(1,2), (2,4)$ and $(4,1)$ show electrostatic attraction while pairs $(2,3)$ and $(4,5)$ show repulsion. Therefore,ball $1$ must be:

  • A
    positively charged
  • B
    made of metal
  • C
    neutral
  • D
    $B$ and $C$ both

$A$ total charge $q$ is divided into $q_1$ and $q_2$,which are placed at two vertices of an equilateral triangle of side $a$. The magnitude of the electric field $E$ at the third vertex of the triangle is to be depicted schematically as a function of $x = q_1 / q$. Choose the correct figure.

The electric field is in the direction of the $x$-axis. The work done to move a charge of $0.2 \ C$ by a distance of $2 \ m$ at an angle of $60^\circ$ with the $x$-axis is $4 \ J$. What is the value of the electric field $E$ in $N/C$?

$A$ charge $Q$ is uniformly distributed over the volume of an insulating sphere of radius $R$. $A$ thin metal shell of radius $b$ $(b > R)$ with a charge $-Q$ is placed around the sphere. The space between the sphere and the shell is filled with air. Which of the following graphs correctly represents the electric field $E$ as a function of distance $r$ from the center?
