An infinitely long wire has uniform linear charge density = 2 nC/m. The net flux through a Gaussian cube of side length 3 cm, if the wire passes through any two corners of the cube, that are maximally displaced from each other, would be x N m2 C-1, where x is: [Neglect any edge effects and use 14 0 = 9 109 SI units]

A dipole with two electric charges of 2 magnitude each, with separation distance 0.5 , is placed between the plates of a capacitor such that its axis is parallel to an electric field established between the plates when a potential difference of 5 V is applied. Separation between the plates is 0.5 mm. If the dipole is rotated by 30 from the axis, it tends to realign in the direction due to a torque. The value of torque is:

1. 2.5 10-9 Nm
2. 2.5 10-12 Nm
3. 5 10-3 Nm
4. 5 10-9 Nm

The electric field in a region is given by E = (2 i + 4 j + 6 k) 103 N/C. The flux of the field through a rectangular surface parallel to x–z plane is 6.0 Nm2C-1. The area of the surface is cm2.

Two infinite identical charged sheets and a charged spherical body of charge density ' ' are arranged as shown in figure. Then the correct relation between the electrical fields at A, B, C and D points is: [figure]
