How does the electric flux due to a point charge enclosed by a spherical Gaussian surface get affected when its radius is increased?

A charge is distributed uniformly over a ring of radius 'a'. Obtain an expression for the electric intensity E at a point on the axis of the ring. Hence, show that for points at large distance from the ring, it behaves like a point charge.

(a) Derive an expression for the electric field E due to a dipole of length '2a' at a point distant r from the centre of the dipole on the axial line.
(b) Draw a graph of E versus r for r >> a.
(c) If this dipole were kept in a uniform external electric field E₀, diagrammatically represent the position of the dipole in stable and unstable equilibrium and write the expressions for the torque acting on the dipole in both the cases.

An infinitely large thin plane sheet has a uniform surface charge density +σ. Obtain the expression for the amount of work done in bringing a point charge q from infinity to a point, distant r, in front of the charged plane sheet. 

1. Define torque acting on a dipole of dipole moment \[\vec{p}\] placed in a uniform electric field \[\vec{E}\] Express it in the vector from and point out the direction along which it acts. Express it in the vector from and point out the direction along which it acts.
2. What happens if the field is non-uniform?
3. What would happen if the external field
   \[\vec{E}\]  is increasing (i) parallel to \[\vec{p}\] and (ii) anti-parallel to \[\vec{p}\]?

Why must electrostatic field at the surface of a charged conductor be normal to the surface at every point? Give reason?

A point charge (+Q) is kept in the vicinity of an uncharged conducting plate. Sketch the electric field lines between the charge and the plate?

A hollow cylindrical box of length 1 m and area of cross-section 25 cm² is placed in a three dimensional coordinate system as shown in the figure. The electric field in the region is given by `vecE = 50xhati` where E is NC­⁻¹ and x is in metres. Find
