Solution

The correct options are
B Net force from the hinge on the rod is leftwards
C Equilibrium of rod is neutral
Here the net force Fn=qE+qE=2qE so net force is towards the electric field i.e leftwards .
Here the rod is displaced little bit left side due to electrostatic force but can not come back and it will rest there. This type of equilibrium is known as neutral .

Q. A uniform thin rod of length L is hinged about one of its ends and is free to rotate about the hinge without friction. Neglect the effect of gravity. A force F is applied at a distance x from the hinge on the rod such that force is always perpendicular to the rod. Find the normal reaction at the hinge as a function of 'x', at the initial instant when the angular velocity of the rod is zero.

Q. A uniform thin rod of mass M and length L lying in x-y plane is hinged at a fixed support as shown. The rod is free to rotate about fixed axis parallel to z-axis and passing though hinge without friction. At the shown instant the rod is at rest and a force of magnitude F is applied perpendicular to rod at a distance x from hinge. Neglecting gravity, the magnitude of force exerted by hinge on the rod at the shown instant is:
