An electric dipole of moment \(p\) is placed in an electric field of intensity \(E.\) The dipole acquires a position such that the axis of the dipole makes an angle \(\theta\) with the direction of the field. Assuming that the potential energy of the dipole to be zero when \(\theta = 90^{\circ}\)$$, the torque and the potential energy of the dipole will respectively be:
1. \(pE\text{sin}\theta, ~-pE\text{cos}\theta\)
2. \(pE\text{sin}\theta, ~-2pE\text{cos}\theta\)
3. \(pE\text{sin}\theta, ~2pE\text{cos}\theta\)
4. \(pE\text{cos}\theta, ~-pE\text{sin}\theta\)

A parallel plate condenser has a uniform electric field \(E\) (V/m) in the space between the plates. If the distance between the plates is \(d\) (m) and the area of each plate is \(A\) (m²), the energy (joule) stored in the condenser is:

A series combination of n₁ capacitors, each of value C₁, is charged by a source of potential difference 4V. When another parallel combination of n₂ capacitors, each of value C₂, is charged by a source of potential difference V, it has the same (total) energy stored in it, as the first combination has. The value of C₂, in terms of C₁, is then:

1. $\frac{2C_1}{n_1{n}_2}$

2. $16\frac{n_2}{n_1}{C}_1$

3. $2\frac{n_2}{n_1}{C}_1$

4. $\frac{16C_1}{n_1{n}_2}$

Three concentric spherical shells have radii a, b, and c (a<b<c) and have surface charge densities $\mathrm{\sigma },$ $-\mathrm{\sigma }$, and $\mathrm{\sigma }$ respectively. If ${\mathrm{V}}_{\mathrm{A}},$ ${\mathrm{V}}_{\mathrm{B}}$, and ${\mathrm{V}}_{\mathrm{C}}$ denote the potential of the three shells, and c=a+b, it can be concluded that:

Three capacitors each of capacitance \(C\) and of breakdown voltage \(V\) are joined in series. The capacitance and breakdown voltage of the combination will be:

3. $\frac{C}{3},$ $3V$

4. \(3C,~3V\)

The electric potential at a point in free space due to a charge \(Q\) coulomb is \(Q\times10^{11}~\text{V}\). The electric field at that point is:
