A parallel plate capacitor is charged by giving it a total charge \(Q,\) resulting in an electric field \(E\) between its plates. A small charge \(q\) is placed between the plates of the capacitor. The force on \(q\) is \(F_1\) and the force between the two plates of the capacitor is \(F_2.\) Then:
1. \(F_1=qE,~F_2=QE\)
2. \(F_1=2qE,~F_2=QE\)
3. \(F_1=2qE,~F_2={\Large\frac{QE}{2}}\)
4. \(F_1=qE,~F_2={\Large\frac{QE}{2}}\)

Two large plane metallic plates of surface area \(A\) are placed parallel to each other, and they are charged oppositely with equal charges: \(+Q,-Q.\) The separation between the two plates is \(d,\) which is very small. A small positive charge \(q~(q\ll Q)\) is placed exactly midway between the two plates. The force on \(q\) due to the remaining charges \((\text{i.e.,}+Q,-Q)\) is: \(\Bigg(k={\large\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}}\Bigg)\)

A capacitor is charged up to a voltage \(V_0.\) Thereafter, \(50\%\) of the charge is taken from the positive plate and placed on the negative plate, slowly. If the initial energy stored in the capacitor was \(E_0,\) the magnitude of work done during the removal of \(50\%\) of the charge, is:
1. \(\dfrac{E_0}{2}\)
2. \(\dfrac{E_0}{4}\)
3. \(\dfrac{3E_0}{4}\)
4. \(\dfrac{3E_0}{8}\)

Two identical thin non-conducting spherical shells of radius \(r\) are charged uniformly with equal and opposite charges \(+Q,-Q\) and placed, so that their surfaces almost touch each other, externally (see figure). The electric fields at their centres are \(\vec E_A,\vec E_B\) while the potentials are \(V_A,V_B\) respectively. Then:
           
1. \(\vec E_A=\vec E_B,V_A=V_B\)
2. \(\vec E_A=-\vec E_B,V_A=V_B\)
3. \(\vec E_A=\vec E_B,V_A=-V_B\)

Consider an electric field of the form: \(\vec E=K(y\hat i+x\hat j)\)
where \(K\) is a constant, and \(x,y\) are the coordinates.
Statement I: If a charged particle is taken along the \(x\)-axis, no work will be done by the electric field.
Statement II: This electric field is conservative in nature i.e. it can be derived from a potential: \(V(x,y)=C-Kxy\)
 
1. Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct.
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
3. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
4. Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect.
