Engineering Physics

Q-1. Two fixed charges 1.07mC and -3.28mC are 61.8 cm apart. Where the third
charge may be placed so that no net force acts on it?

Q-2. A cube of edge “a” carries a point charge q at each corner. What is the
resultant electric force on any one charge because of all other charges?

Q-3. Find the total charge in coulombs of 75 Kg of electrons ?

Q-4. Two equally charged particles, held 3.2mm apart, are released from rest.
The initial acceleration of the first particle is observed to be 7.22 m/s 2 and that
of second to be 9.16m/s2. If the mass of first particle is 6.31x10-7 kg. What are
(a) the mass of second particle and (b) the magnitude of the charge of each
particle?

Q-5. Two positive charges, each of 4.18µC, and a negative charge of -6.36µC are
fixed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle of side 13cm. Find the electrical
force on negative charge?

Q-6. In Figure what are the horizontal and vertical components of net
electrostatic force on the charged particle in lower left corner of the square if
q=6.0x10-8 C and a= 8.85cm?

Q-7. In figure three charged particles lie on a straight line and are separated by
a distance “d”. Charge q1 and q2 are held fixed, charge q3 is free to move but
happens to be in equilibrium (no net electrostatic force on it). Find q1 in terms of
q2?
Q-8.What is the magnitude and direction of the electric field at the centre of the

upper face. What is the magnitude of the electric field produced by the disk at a
point on its central axis at distance Z=17 cm from the disk?

Q-10. At what distance along the central axis of a uniformly charged plastic disk
of radius R is the magnitude of the electric field equal to one half the magnitude
of the field at the centre of the surface of the disk?

Q-11. An electric dipole, consisting of charges of magnitude 2.50nC saperated by


7.20µm, is in an electric field of strength 1100 N/C. (a) What is the magnitude of
electric dipole moment? (b) What is the difference between the potential
energies corresponding to dipole orientations parallel and antiparallel to the
fields?
