In a discharge tube ionization of enclosed gas is produced due to collisions between

• positive ions and neutral atoms/molecules

• negative electrons and neutral atoms/molecules

• photons and neutral atoms/molecules

• photons and neutral atoms/molecules

An electron falls from rest through a vertical distance h in a uniform and vertically upward directed electric field E. The direction of electric field is now reversed, keeping its magnitude the same. A proton is allowed to fall from rest in it through the same vertical distance h. The time of fall of the electron, in comparison to the time of fall of the proton is

• 5 times greater

• Equal

• 10 times greater

A certain charge Q is divided into two parts q and Q-q. How the charge Q and q must be related so that when q and (Q-q) is placed at a certain distance apart experience maximum electrostatic repulsion?

If an insulated non-conducting sphere of radius R has charge density ρ. The electric field at a distance r from the centre of sphere (r > R) will be

• $\frac{\mathrm{\rho } \mathrm{R}}{3{\mathrm{\epsilon }}_{\mathrm{o}}}$

• $\frac{\mathrm{\rho } \mathrm{r}}{3 {\mathrm{\epsilon }}_{\mathrm{o}}}$

• $\frac{3 \mathrm{\rho } \mathrm{R}}{{\mathrm{\epsilon }}_{\mathrm{o}}}$

Two spherical conductors B and C having equal radii and carrying equal charges in them repel each other with a force F when kept apart at some distance. A third spherical conductor having same radius as that of B but uncharged, is brought in contact with B, then brought in contact with C and finally removed away from both. The new force of repulsion between B and C is

• $\frac{\mathrm{F}}{4}$

• $\frac{3 \mathrm{F}}{4}$

• $\frac{\mathrm{F}}{8}$

• $\frac{3 \mathrm{F}}{8}$

A charge q is located at the centre of a cube. The electric flux through any face is
