1. A conducting sphere of radius 10 cm has an unknown charge. If the electric field, 20 cm
from the center of the sphere is 1.5×103 𝑁/𝐶 and points radially inward, what is the net charge on the sphere? - 2 Marks 2. Two charges q and -3q are placed fixed on the x-axis separated by distance d. Where should a third charge 2q be placed such that, it will not experience any force? - 2 Marks 3. Charges of + 5μC, +10μC and -10μC are placed in air at corners A, B and C of an equilateral triangle ABC, having each side equal to 5 cm. Determine the resultant force on the charge at A. - 3 Marks 4. A spherical conductor of radius 12 cm has a charge of 1.6×10−7C distributed uniformly on its surface. What is the electric field - 3 Marks (a) inside the sphere? (b) just outside the sphere? (c) at a point 18 cm from the center of the sphere? 5. (a) State Gauss's law in electrostatics. Using this theorem, mathematically show that for any point outside the shell, the field due to a uniformly charged thin spherical shell is the same as if the entire charge of the shell is concentrated at the center. Why do you expect the electric field inside the shell to be zero according to this theorem? (b) Draw the field lines when the charge density of the sphere is a. positive, b. Negative. - 5 Marks 6. (a) Derive the expression for the electric potential due to an electric dipole at a point on its axial line.
(b) Depict the equipotential surfaces due to an electric dipole . - 5 Marks
