Electric Charges and Fields Worksheet

1. The force between two point charges decreases if the dielectric constant of the medium increases. 2. An attractive force is developed between rods Q and R, as rod P attracts R but repels Q. 3. The free electron experiences a greater force and acceleration in the uniform electric field, as electrons have a lower mass than protons.

Electric charges and fields

1. How does the force between two point charges change if the dielectric constant of the
medium in which they are kept increase?
2. A charged rod P attracts rod R whereas P repels another charged rod Q. What type of
force is developed between Q and R?

3. A free proton and a free electron are placed in a uniform field. Which of the two
experiences greater force and greater acceleration? Explain.

4. A particle of mass m and charge q is released form rest in a uniform electric field of
intensity E. calculate the kinetic energy it attains after moving a distance s between
the plates?

5. (1) The electric field E due to a point change at any point near to it is defined as: E=
Lim (q 0) F/q where q is the test charge and F is the force acting on it. What is the
significance of lim q0 in this expression?

(2) Two charges each 2 x 10-7 C but opposite in sign forms a system. These charges are
located at points A (0,0, -10) cm and B(0,0, +10) cm respectively. What is the total
charge and electric dipole moment of the system?

6. Two point charges +q and +9q are separated by a distance of 10 a. Find the point on
the line joining the two changes where electric field is zero?
