Case Study :
Read the following paragraph and answer the questions
Electrostatics deals with the study of forces, fields and potentials arising from static
charges. Force and electric field, due to a point charge is basically determined by
Coulomb's law. For symmetric charge configurations, Gauss law which is also based
on Coulomb's law, helps us to find the electric field. A charge/a system of charges like
adipole experiences aforce/ torque in an electric field. Work is required to be done to
provide a specific orientation to a dipole with respect to an electric field.
Answer the following questions based on the above:
