1.(A) Compare it with the motion of a satellite in an elliptical orbit. mvr =const. (by Conservation of Angular Momentum) where v
and r are variable. Hence, linear momentum, angular velocity and linear speed are variable.
2.(A) By symmetry, we can say that the resultant field is zero if identical charges are placed at the corners of a regular polygon. so,
net field by charges on (n 1) corners must be calculated by the charge on n
th
corner. Hence,

4.(A) Net electric field at the cente will be zero. Hence, electric field due to remaining part of the ring
must be equal and opposite to the small part of the ring. Hence, field at the centre :

5.(A) Force on negative charge of dipole is towards the origin and on positive charge is away
fromthe origin. Force on ive charge is more than +ive due to lesser distance.

Electric field at any point will depend on the charges. Electric flux through small area through P will depend on all the charges
but electric field through a closed area depends only on charge enclosed.
