ASSIGNMENT: ELECTROSTATICS AND CURRENT

ELECTRICITY
NUMERICALS
1. Estimate the total number of electrons present in 100g of water.
How much is the total negative charge carried by these
electrons? Avogadros number = 6.023×1023 and molecular mass
of water = 18u.
(Ans = 5.35×106 C)
2. It is now believe that protons and neutrons are themselves built

out of more elementary units called quarks. A proton and
neutrons consists of three quarks each. Two types of quarks, the
so called up quarks (u) of charge (+2/3) e and down quarks (d)
of charge (-1/3) e, together with electrons build up ordinary

matter. Suggest a possible quark composition of a proton and
neutron.
(Ans= uud, udd)
3. A free pith ball A of 8g carries a positive charge of 5×10 -8C.

What must be the nature and magnitude of charge that should
be given to a second pith ball B fixed 5cm below the former ball
so that the upper ball is stationary. (Ans= 4.36×10 -7,
repulsive)
4. A particle of mass m and carrying charge q1 is moving around a

charge +q2 along a circular path of radius r. Prove that the
period of revolution of the charge q1 about +q2 is given by
T= √(16r3 ε0mπ3 )
q 1 q2
5. Two identical charges, Q each are kept at a distance r from each
other. A third charge q is placed on the line joining above two
charges such that all the three charges are in equilibrium.
What is the magnitude, sign and position of the charge q?
( Ans : Q=q4, opposite, x=r/2 )
VERY SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS

6. Define the term electric dipole moment.
7. Sketch the electric field lines due to two equal positive charges
placed near each other.
8. Give the units of i) line integral of electric field and ii) surface
integral of electric field.
9. What would be the work done if a point charge +q, is taken
from a point A to B on the circumference of a circle drawn with
another point charge +q at the centre.
10. An uncharged insulated conductor A is brought near a
charged insulated conductor B. What happens to charge and
potential of B?
11. Why does the electric field inside a dielectric decrease
when it is placed in an external field?
12. In a parallel plate capacitor, the capacitance increases
from 4µf to 80µf, on introducing a dielectric medium between
the plates. What is the dielectric constant of the medium?
SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS

13. Derive an
expression for the electric field intensity at any point along the
axial line of an electric dipole.

14. Two point electric charges of unknown magnitude and
sign are placed a distance d apart. The electric field intensity is
zero at a point, not between the charges but on the line joining
them. Write two essential conditions for this to happen.
15. Derive an expression for the energy stored in a parallel
plate capacitor with air as the medium between its plates.

and a proton accelerated through the same potential.

exists inside a hollow charged conductor.
18. An electric dipole is free to move in a uniform electric
field. Explain its motion when it is placed i) parallel to the field
and ii) perpendicular to the field.
19. Calculate the distance between two protons such that the
electrostatics repulsive force between them is equal to the
weight of either.
20. Two point charges q and 2q are kept at a distance d apart
from each other in air. A third charge Q is to be kept along the
same line in such a way that the net force on q and 2q is zero.
Calculate the position of Q in terms of q and d.
21. An electric flux of -6 x 10³ NM²/C passes normally through
a spherical Gaussian surface radius 10cm, due to point charge
placed at the centre. What is the charge enclosed by the
Gaussian surface? If the radius of Gaussian surface is doubled,
how much flux would pass through the surface?
22. Is electric flux a scalar or vector quantity? Give its SI
units.
23. (i) A charge of 2micro coulomb is placed at the center of a
sphere of radius 1m. What is the electric flux passing through
sphere if another charge of -2microcoulomb is placed at a
distance of
(a) 0.5m (b) 1.5m from its
center.
24. Two equal charges each of -√2µC are placed 2m apart
and a third charge 2√2µC is placed at mid point of line joining
them. Calculate total electric field intensity at a distance of 1m
from third charge on perpendicular bisector of the line joining
the charges.
25. An electric dipole is held in a uniform electric field.
