In a certain region of space, electric field is along the z-direction throughout. The magnitude of electric field is, however, not constant but increases uniformly along the positive z- direction, at the rate of `10^5 NC^(-1)` per metre. What are the force and torque experienced by a system having a total dipole moment equal to `10^(-7) Cm` in the negative Z-direction?

Only (c ) is right the rest cannot represent electrostaic field lines (a) is wrong because field lines must be normal to a conlductor (b) is wrong because field lines cannot start wrong because electrostatic field lines cannot form closed loops

A square loop of side 12 cm with its sides parallel to X and Y axes is moved with a velocity of 8cms^(-1) in the possitive x-direction in an environment containing a magnetic field in the positive z- direction. The field is neither uniform in space nor constant in time. It has a gradient of 10^(-3)Tcm^(-1) along the negative x-direction (that is it increases by 10^(-3)T as one moves in the negative x-direction), and it is decreasing in time at the rate of 10^(-3)Ts^(-1) . Determine the direction and magnitude of the induced current in the loop of its resistance is 4.50mOmega .
