A hollow metal sphere of radius \(R\) is uniformly charged. The electric field due to the sphere at a distance \(r\) from the centre:
1. | decreases as \(r\) increases for \(r<R\) and for \(r>R\). |
2. | increases as \(r\) increases for \(r<R\) and for \(r>R\). |
3. | is zero as \(r\) increases for \(r<R\), decreases as \(r\) increases for \(r>R\). |
4. | is zero as \(r\) increases for \(r<R\), increases as \(r\) increases for \(r>R\). |
1. | Only \(-q\) is in stable equilibrium. |
2. | None of the charges are in equilibrium. |

2. | a force but no torque. |
3. | a torque but no force. |
4. | neither a force nor a torque. |
A point charge is placed at the center of the spherical Gaussian surface. The electric flux through the surface is changed if the:
1. | sphere is replaced by a cube of the same volume. |
2. | sphere is replaced by a cube of half volume. |
3. | charge is moved off-centre in the original sphere. |
4. | charge is moved just outside the original sphere. |
Four charges are arranged at the corners of a square \(ABCD\) as shown in the figure. The force on a positive charge kept at the center of the square is:
