Question
Which among the curves shown in figure cannot possibly represent electrostatic field lines?
✓
Answer
- Field lines are wrongly drawn because electric field lines must be normal to the surface of the conductor at each point.
- Field lines are wrongly drawn because field lines cannot start from a negative charge.
- Field lines are correctly drawn, because they are originating from a positive charge.
- Field lines are wrongly drawn as the field lines cannot intersect.
- Field lines are wrongly drawn because they cannot form closed loops.

Figure shows a typical circuit for a low-pass filter. An AC input $V_{i }= 10mV$ is applied at the left end and the output $V_0$ is received at the right end. Find the output voltage for ν = 10kHz, 1.0MHz and 10.0MHz. Note that as the frequency is increased the output decreases and, hence, the name low-pass filter.
