identically zero, because the metal shields the field

C

nonzero but dependent on where the charge is within the pipe.

D

nonzero, but independent of where the charge is within the pipe.

A Point Charge In An Electric Field

Assertion(A): A point charge q is rotated along a circle around another point charge Q .The work done by electric field on the field on the rotating charge in half revolution is zero. Reason (R ) :No work is done to move a charge on an equipotential line or surface.

STATEMENT -1 : Induced charge does not contribute to electric field or potential at a give point . STATEMENT -2 : A point cahrge q_0 is kept outside a solid metallic sphere , the electric field inside the sphere is zero.

A hollow metal ball carrying an electric charge produces no electric field at points

A charge +Q at A (see figure) produces electric field E and electric potential V at D . If we now put charges -2Q and +Q at B and C respectively, then the electric field and potential at D will be

A charge +Q at A (see Fig. 3.140) produces electric field E and electric potential V at D. If we now put charges - 3 Q and +Q at B and C, respectively, then the electric field and potential at D will be .
