(b)State Gauss theoram. Apply this theorem to obtain the expression for the electric
field intensity at a point due to an infinitely long, thin, uniformaly charged straight wire.
Q.4. (a) For any charge configuration, equipotential surface through a point is normal
to the electric field at that point.Justify this statement with proper reasoning.
(b) Two insulated concentric metal spheres A and B have radii R 1 and R2, and have
charges Q1 and Q2respectively .What is the potential and intensity of electric field
at a point P between the spheres at a distance r from the centre of the spheres ?
Q.5.(a) Draw a plot showing the variation of (i) electric field and (ii) electric
potential with distance r due to a point charge Q on the same axis.
(b)Aswin asked his Physics teacher why are voltmeter, galvanometer and ammeter kept
in a cavity inspite of its outer covering being made of an insulator.
a) What values did Aswin have? b) Explain electrostatic shielding

(b)A 4F capacitor is charged by a 200 V supply. The supply is then disconneced and
the charged capacitor is connected to another uncharged 2 F capacitor. How much
electrostatic energy of the first capacitor is lost in the process of attaining the steady
situation?
