moving a charge of 10 µC between two diagonally opposite points on the square. (Delhi
2008)

equatorial axis of an electric dipole? (All India 2009)
4. A point charge Q is placed at point O as shown in the figure. Is the potential difference
VA – VB positive, negative or zero, if Q is

(ii) negative? (Delhi 2011)

radius r at the centre of which another point charge is located? (Comptt. All India 2013)

electric field.” Justify. (Delhi 2014)
