An electric dipole with dipole moment $5\times10^{-6}Cm$ is aligned with the direction of a uniform electric field of magnitude $4\times10^{5}N/C$. The dipole is then rotated through an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with respect to the electric field. The change in the potential energy of the dipole is:

A wire of resistance R is cut into 8 equal pieces. From these pieces two equivalent resistances are made by adding four of these together in parallel. Then these two sets are added in series. The net effective resistance of the combination is:

A container has two chambers of volumes $V_{1}=2$ litres and $V_{2}=3$ litres separated by a partition made of a thermal insulator. The chambers contain $n_{1}=5$ and $n_{2}=4$ moles of ideal gas at pressures $p_{1}=1$ atm and $p_{2}=2$ atm, respectively. When the partition is removed, the mixture attains an equilibrium pressure of

Two identical charged conducting spheres A and B have their centres separated by a certain distance. Charge on each sphere is q and the force of repulsion between them is F. A third identical uncharged conducting sphere is brought in contact with sphere A first and then with B and finally removed from both. New … Read more
