Two charged identical metal spheres $A$ and $B$ repel each other with a force of $3 \times 10^{-5} \,N$. Another identical uncharged sphere $C$ is touched with sphere $A$ and then it is placed mid-way between $A$ and $B$. Then, the magnitude of net force on $C$ is

  • A
    $1 \times 10^{-5} \,N$
  • B
    $3 \times 10^{-5} \,N$
  • C
    $2 \times 10^{-5} \,N$
  • D
    $5 \times 10^{-5} \,N$

$A$ point charge $q$ moves from point $P$ to $S$ along the path $PQRS$ in a uniform electric field $E$ directed parallel to the positive $X$-axis. The coordinates of points $P, Q, R,$ and $S$ are $(a, b, 0), (2a, 0, 0), (a, -b, 0),$ and $(0, 0, 0)$ respectively. Calculate the work done by the electric field in this process.

Which of the following statement$(s)$ is/are correct?
$(A)$ If the electric field due to a point charge varies as $r^{-2.5}$ instead of $r^{-2}$,then the Gauss law will still be valid.
$(B)$ The Gauss law can be used to calculate the field distribution around an electric dipole.
$(C)$ If the electric field between two point charges is zero somewhere,then the sign of the two charges is the same.
$(D)$ The work done by the external force in moving a unit positive charge from point $A$ at potential $V_A$ to point $B$ at potential $V_B$ is $(V_B - V_A)$.
