1. If a body is charged by rubbing, its weight

1) Remains precisely constant 2) Increases slightly
4) May increase slightly or may
3) Decreases slightly
decrease slightly

Solution:

When body is rubbed by charging, body that loose electron, has a

slight decrease in weight, the body that gains electrons has a slight
increase in weight.

2. When charge is given to a body

1) More charge accumulates at regions of small radius of curvature
2) More charge accumulates at regions of large radius of curvature
3) Charge is distributed uniformly irrespective of curvature
4) None of the above is true

6. An electric dipole kept in a non uniform electric field experiences

1) A force and a torque
2) A force but not a torque

4) Neither a force nor a torque

Solution:

In non- uniform electric field, the charges on dipole experience

non- uniform force. So it experience force as well as torque.
