The graph of electric potential \((V)\) versus distance \((r)\) is shown in the diagram. The value of the electric field at a distance \(A\) will be:

| 1. | \(5\) V/m | 2. | \(-10\) V/m |
| 3. | \(-5\) V/m | 4. | \(10\) V/m |
A thin, metallic spherical shell contains a charge \(\mathrm{Q}\) on it. A point charge \(\mathrm{q}\) is placed at the centre of the shell and another charge \(\mathrm{q}_1\) is placed outside as it is shown in the figure. All the three charges are positive. The force on the charge at the centre is:
1. towards left
2. towards right
3. upward
4. zero
| 1. | depends on the square of surface charge density. |
| 2. | depends on the separation between the plates. |
| 3. | depends directly on the plate area of each plate. |
| 4. | depends directly on the dielectric constant of the medium. |

| 3. | \(\mathrm{(2), (1), (3)}\) | 4. | \(\mathrm{(2), (3), (1)}\) |
| 1. | \(\dfrac{1}{2} \varepsilon_{o} \dfrac{V^{2}}{d^{2}}\) | 2. | \(\dfrac{1}{2 \varepsilon_{o}} \dfrac{V^{2}}{d^{2}}\) |
