A thin uniform rod of mass \(M\) and length \(L\) is suspended from one of its ends, '\(A\)', so that it can rotate freely about it. A charge '\(q\)' is fixed to its lower end \(B\). A uniform horizontal Electric field is switched on and the rod rotates about \(A\), finally coming to equilibrium – making an angle of \(45^{\circ}\) with the vertical. If the acceleration due to gravity is '\(g\)', then,

1. \(qE =Mg\)
2. \(2qE =Mg\)
3. \(qE =2Mg\)
4. \(\sqrt{2}qE =Mg\)

Two very long insulated glass rods are charged uniformly by giving them identical charges '\(q\)', each. The rods have lengths \(L\) each and are placed parallel to each other at a distance '\(r\)' apart, where \(r\ll L\). Then, the electric force acting between the rods is proportional to:
 
1. \(\dfrac{1}{r^2}\) 2. \(\dfrac{1}{r}\)
3. \(r\) 4. \(\dfrac{1}{r^3}\)

A point charge '\(q\)' is placed at the centre of a spherical cavity at the centre of a conducting sphere. The sphere is initially uncharged. The radius of the cavity is '\(a\)' and that of the sphere is '\(2a\)'. Let the charge on the outer surface of the sphere be \(Q\).
Then,
1. \(q,Q\) are of the same sign and \(|q|=|Q|\)
2. \(q,Q\) are of opposite signs and \(|q|=|Q|\)
3. \(q,Q\) are of the same sign and \(|q|<|Q|\)
4. \(q,Q\) are of opposite signs and \(|q|>|Q|\)

A uniformly charged sphere carrying a charge \(Q\) distributed uniformly on its outer surface is placed in an isotropic medium of dielectric constant '\(K\)'.

The electric field within the medium due to the charge \(Q\) at some point \(P\) is \(\vec E_{Q}\). The Electric field at the same point \(P\) due to induced charge within the medium is \(\vec E_{m}\). Then,
1. \(|\vec E_m|=\left|\dfrac{\vec E_Q}{K}\right|,\) and the two fields are in opposite directions.
2. \(|\vec E_Q|=\left|\dfrac{\vec E_m}{K}\right|,\) and the two fields are in the same direction.
3. \(|\vec E_Q+\vec E_m|=\left|\dfrac{\vec E_Q}{K}\right|,\) and the two fields are in opposite directions.
4. \(|\vec E_Q+\vec E_m|=\left|\dfrac{\vec E_m}{K}\right|,\) and the two fields are in the same direction.

A uniformly charged circular ring (of radius \(R\)) has a total charge \(Q;\) a second point charge \(q\) is placed at the center of the ring. Consider a point \(P\) on the axis of the ring, at a distance \(x\) from its center. The radius of the ring subtends an angle \(\theta\) at the point \(P.\)
            
If the net electric field at \(P\) is zero, then:
