1 Two electric charges having magnitude 8.0 C and -2.0 C are separated by 20 cm. Where should third
charged be placed so that the resultant force acting on it is zero?
2 As shown in fig., a square having length a has electric charge
of surface charge density = o xy. Calculate the total electric charge

the total electric flux linked with a circular disc of radius a, situated at a distance R from a point charge q.

[ Hint:

rdr /(R2+r2)3/2 = -1/(R2+r2)1/2]

4 The surface charge density of a very large surface is equal to -3 10-6 C/m2. From what distance should an
electron of 150 eV energy be projected towards the plane so that its velocity becomes zero on reaching the
plane? Charge of an electron = 1.6 10-19 C, 1eV = 1.6 10-19 J, o = 9 10-12 SI.
5 Three charges, q each, are placed on the vertices of and equilateral triangle. Find the resultant force on
another charge 2q kept at its centroid. The distance of the centroid from the vertices is 1 m.

7 Q amount of electric charge is uniformly distributed on a ring of radius r. A sphere of radius r is drawn in
such a way that the center of the sphere lies on the surface of the ring. Calculate the electric flux associated
with the surface of the sphere.
8 A charge of 4 10-8 C is uniformly distributed all over the surface of a sphere of radius 1 cm. Another
hollow sphere of radius 5 cm is concentric with the smaller sphere. Find intensity of electric field at a distance
of 2 cm from the centre. K = 9 109 SI.
