4. For all charges to be in equi lib rium, force
ex pe ri enced by ei ther charge must be zero
ie., force due to other two charges must be
equal and op po site.
Hence all the charges must be collinear,
charges q
1
, and q
3
 must have same sign and 
q
2
 must have opposite sign, q
2
 must have
maximum magnitude.
Such on equilibrium is always unstable.
5. Flux through any closed sur face de pends
only on charge in side the sur face but elec tric 
field at any point on the sur face de pends on
charges in side as well as out side the sur face.
6. As net charge on an elec tric di pole is zero,
net flux through the sphere is zero.
But electric field at any point due to a dipole
cannot be zero.
7. Gauss’s law gives to tal elec tric field and flux
due to all charges.
8. If two con cen tric spheres carry equal and
op po site charges, Elec tric field is non-zero
only in the re gion be tween two sphere and
po ten tial is  is zero only out side both the
spheres.
9. As force on the rod due to elec tric field is
to wards right, force on the rod due to hinge
must be left.
The equilibrium is clearly neutral.
10. If moved along per pen dic u lar bi sec tor, for all 
iden ti cal charges, elec tro static po ten tial
en ergy is max i mum at mid point and if
moved along the line join ing the par ti cles,
elec tr o static po ten ti al en er gy is min i mum at
the mid-point.

4. For all charges to be in equi lib rium, force
ex pe ri enced by ei ther charge must be zero
ie., force due to other two charges must be
equal and op po site.
Hence all the charges must be collinear,
charges q
1
, and q
3
 must have same sign and 
q
2
 must have opposite sign, q
2
 must have
maximum magnitude.
Such on equilibrium is always unstable.
5. Flux through any closed sur face de pends
only on charge in side the sur face but elec tric 
field at any point on the sur face de pends on
charges in side as well as out side the sur face.
6. As net charge on an elec tric di pole is zero,
net flux through the sphere is zero.
But electric field at any point due to a dipole
cannot be zero.
7. Gauss’s law gives to tal elec tric field and flux
due to all charges.
8. If two con cen tric spheres carry equal and
op po site charges, Elec tric field is non-zero
only in the re gion be tween two sphere and
po ten tial is  is zero only out side both the
spheres.
9. As force on the rod due to elec tric field is
to wards right, force on the rod due to hinge
must be left.
The equilibrium is clearly neutral.
10. If moved along per pen dic u lar bi sec tor, for all 
iden ti cal charges, elec tro static po ten tial
en ergy is max i mum at mid point and if
moved along the line join ing the par ti cles,
elec tr o static po ten ti al en er gy is min i mum at
the mid-point.
