State and explain Coulomb’s law between two static charges.

Then find the Coulomb


force between two static charges in the air.

In a Hydrogen atom, there is a positively charged proton in the nucleus and a negatively
charged electron moves around the nucleus in an orbit. The electrostatic force between
the electron and proton becomes a centripetal force that retains the electron in the orbit.
Calculate the radius of the orbit if the centripetal force is equal to 8.2 10 8 N.

What is electric field intensity? Deduce an expression of electric field intensity at a
point in an electric field.

For what intensity of an electron will experience a force equal to its weight? The mass
of an electron is 9.1 1031 kg and charge of an electron is 1.6 10 19 C.
What is electric potential? Establish a relation between electric field intensity and
potential difference.
The potential difference between two ends of a car battery is 12.0 V. Determine the
work done in transferring 2.5 C charge from negative to positive terminal of the battery.

Define charge density of a conductor.

• Definition: The charge density at a point at the surface of a


conductor is defined as the amount of charge that exists
around that point per unit area.
Unit of Charge Density: Cm-2
Deduce an expression for electric potential due to a point charge.

If 10 C charge is placed on the surface of a sphere of 10 cm radius, what is the electric


potential at its surface?

Define the capacitance of a conductor

• Definition: The amount of charge required to raise the potential of a


conductor by 1 unit is called the capacitance of the conductor.

Deduce an expression for capacitance of parallel plate capacitor.


If a capacitor of 4 μF is charged by a 9.0 V battery. What amount of energy will be
stored in it?

State and explain Biot-Savart’s law.
