(b) is constant every where but not necessarily zero
(c) cannot be defined
(d) depends on the position of the point
5. The false statement for a dielectric medium is:
(a) If charge can be easily induced in the medium the dielectric constant is large
(b) The electric field within the medium in reduced due to induced charged on the surface
(c) The dielectric constant of the medium is small if it is metallic
(d) If it is vacuum, the value of dielectric constant is one
6. Two small charged balls are suspended from a common point of suspension by threads of equal length and negligible mass. Upon repulsion the threads make equal angles with the vertical. We may conclude that:

(b) charges on the balls are equal
(c) both charges and the masses are equal
(d) neither the charges nor the masses are equal
7. Charges q1 and q2 are stationed at the centers of two identical cubes of side a meters an build up of a material of dielectric constant 4. If the centers of the cubes are held 2a apart with faces parallel each other the force of attraction repulsion between the charges is F. If the charges were instead held at a distance 2a apart in vacuum air the force of attraction repulsion between q1 and q2 is :
(a) 4F/9
(b) F/4
(c) 4F
(d) 9F/4
