Electric charge is uniformly distributed along a long straight wire of radius \(1\) mm. The charge per cm length of the wire is \(Q\) coulomb. Another cylindrical surface of radius \(50\) cm and length \(1\) m symmetrically encloses the wire as shown in the figure. The total electric flux passing through the cylindrical surface is:

                

1. \(\dfrac{Q}{\varepsilon _{0}}\) 2. \(\dfrac{100Q}{\varepsilon _{0}}\)
3. \(\dfrac{10Q}{\pi\varepsilon _{0}}\) 4. \(\dfrac{100Q}{\pi\varepsilon _{0}}\)

Two equal negative charges of charge \(-q\) are fixed at the points \((0,a)\) and \((0,-a)\) on the \(Y\text-\)axis. A positive charge \(Q\) is released from rest at the point \((2a,0)\) on the \(X\text-\)axis. The charge \(Q\) will:
1. execute simple harmonic motion about the origin.
2. move to the origin and remain at rest.
3. move to infinity.
4. execute oscillatory but not simple harmonic motion.
