The adjacent diagram shows a charge $+Q$ held on an insulating support $S$ and enclosed by a hollow spherical conductor. $O$ represents the centre of the spherical conductor,and $P$ is a point such that $OP = x$ and $SP = r$. The electric field at point $P$ will be

  • A
    $\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 r^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 x^2}$
  • C
    $0$
  • D
    None of the above

Two electric charges $+2 \mu C$ and $-4 \mu C$ are separated by a distance $3 \ m$ in air. At a point $P$ located on the line joining the two charges and in between them, the electric potential is zero. Then the electric field at point $P$ (in $NC^{-1}$) is (in $,000$)

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 $N/C$?

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: An electric dipole is placed at the centre of a hollow sphere. The flux of electric field through the sphere is zero,but the electric field is not zero anywhere in the sphere.
Statement $II$: If $R$ is the radius of a solid metallic sphere and $Q$ is the total charge on it,the electric field at any point on a spherical surface of radius $r$ ( < R ) is zero,and the electric flux passing through this closed spherical surface of radius $r$ is also zero.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:
