Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

Two point charges -4 and 4 , constituting an electric dipole, are placed at (-9,0,0) cm and (9,0,0) cm in a uniform electric field of strength 104 N C-1. The work done on the dipole in rotating it from the equilibrium through 180 is :

1. 18.4 mJ
2. 12.4 mJ
3. 16.4 mJ
4. 14.4 mJ

Two charges 7 and -4 are placed at (-7 cm,0,0) and (7 cm,0,0) respectively. Given, 0=8.85 10-12 C2 N-1 m-2, the electrostatic potential energy of the charge configuration is :

1. -2.0 J
2. -1.5 J
3. -1.2 J
4. -1.8 J

A parallel-plate capacitor of capacitance 40 is connected to a 100 V power supply. Now the intermediate space between the plates is filled with a dielectric material of dielectric constant K=2. Due to the introduction of dielectric material, the extra charge and the change in the electrostatic energy in the capacitor, respectively, are

1. 8 mC and 2.0 J
2. 4 mC and 0.2 J
3. 2 mC and 0.2 J
4. 2 mC and 0.4 J

For a short dipole placed at origin O , the dipole moment P is along x-axis, as shown in the figure. If the electric potential and electric field at A are V0 and E0, respectively, then the correct combination of the electric potential and electric field, respectively, at point B on the y-axis is given by [figure]
