JEE Main 2022 — Electrostatics Question with Solution
From: JEE Main 2022 (Online) 28th June Morning Shift
Question
Given below are two statements :
Statement I : A point charge is brought in an electric field. The value of electric field at a point near to the charge may increase if the charge is positive.
Statement II : An electric dipole is placed in a non-uniform electric field. The net electric force on the dipole will not be zero.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Step-by-step explanation
As one moves closer to a positive charge (isolated) the density of electric field line increases and so does the electric field intensity
Statement I is true
As opposite poles of an electric dipole would experience equal and opposite forces so net force on a dipole in a uniform electric field will be zero
Statement II is true
