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
