The figure represents a crystal unit of caesium chloride, CsCl. The caesium atoms, represented by open circles are situated at the corners of a cube of side 0.40 nm, whereas a Cl-atom is situated at the centre of the cube. The Cs-atoms are deficient in one electron while the Cl-atom carries an excess electron. What is the net electric field \(E_{net}\) on the Cl-atom due to eight Cs-atoms, and suppose that the Cs-atom at corner A is missing. What is the net force \(F_{net}\) now on the Cl-atom due to seven remaining Cs-atoms?

1. \(E_{net}=1.2 \times 10^9 ~\text{NC}^{-1},~F_{net} = 1.92 \times 10^{-9}~\text N\)
2. \(E_{net}=0~\text{NC}^{-1},~F_{net} = 1.92 \times 10^{-9}~\text N\)
3. \(E_{net}=0~\text{NC}^{-1},~F_{net} = 0~\text N\)
4. \(E_{net}=1.2\times 10^9~\text{NC}^{-1},~F_{net} = 0~\text N\)

A positive charge \(Q\) is uniformly distributed along a circular ring of radius \(R\). A small test charge \(q\) is placed at the centre of the ring. Then,

(a) if \(q>0\) and is displaced away from the centre in the plane of the ring, it will be pushed back towards the centre.
(b) if \(q<0\) and is displaced away from the centre in the plane of the ring, it will never return to the centre and will continue moving till it hits the ring.
(c) if \(q<0\), it will perform SHM for small displacement along the axis.
(d) q at the centre of the ring is in an unstable equilibrium within the plane of the ring for \(q>0\).
