1. If a body has positive charge on it, then it means it has
(1) Gained some protons (2} Lost some protons
(3) Gained some electrons (4) Lost some electrons
Sol. Answer (4)
Due to lack of electron body get positive charge.

2. Sure check for presence of electric charge is

(1) Process of induction (2) Repulsion between bodies
(3) Attraction between bodies (4} Frictional force between bodies
Sol. Answer (2)
Due to similar (like charge). repulsion force Is possible but attraction force may be due to uncharged body.

17. According to Coulomb's Law, which Is correct relation for the following diagram?

(1) q , q2 < 0 (2) q , q 2 > 0 (3) q, q2 = 0 (4) q , q2 >> 100 C

Sol. Answer (1)
Both charge should be unlike charge
q , = +Q q2= -Q
So q, q2 = - 02
So q 1 q 2 = Negative
So q1 q 2 < 0

18. A charge q is to be distributed on two conducting spheres. What should be the value of the charges on the

52. There is uniform electric field of 8 x 1o3 i NJC. What is the net flux (in SI units) of the uniform electric field
through a cube of side 0 .3 m oriented so that its faces are parallel to the coordinate plane?
(1) 2 X 8 X 103 (2) 0.3 X 8 X 103 (3) ZefO (4) 8 X 106 X 6
Sol. Answer (3)
E = 8 x 103 i N/C (Uniform) here q =0
So ♦ =0
