(ELECTRIC CHARGES AND FIELD)
(1) A thin, metallic spherical shell contains a charge Q on it. A point charge q is
placed at the centre of the
shell and another charge q1 is placed outside it as shown in the figure. All the three
charges are positive. The force on the charge at the centre is
(a) towards left (b) towards right
(c) upward (d) zero
(2) In the previous problem, the force on the central charge due to the shell is,
(a) towards left (b) towards right
(c) upward (d) zero
(3) Two parallel large thin metal sheets have equal surface densities 26.4x10 -12C/m2 of opposite signs. The
electric field between these sheets is
(a) 1.5N/C (b) 1.5x10-16N/C
(c) 3x10-10 N/C (d) 3N/C
(5) A square sheet of side ‘a’ is lying parallel to XY plane at z = a. The electric field in the region is E=cz2k.

(a) a4c (b) ⅓ a3c
(c) ⅓ a4c (d) 0
(6) Two point charges are 3 m apart and their combined charge is 8µC. The force of repulsion between them
is 0.0012N. Charges are

(c) 5µC ,3µC (d) 7µC,1µC
(7) Consider two hollow concentric spheres S1 and S2, enclosing charges 2Q and
4Q respectively as shown in the figure.
(i) Find out the ratio of flux through them.
(ii) How will the electric flux through the sphere S1 change if a medium of
dielectric constant εr is introduced in the space inside S1 in place of air.
(8) Four equal charges 2x10-6 C each are fixed at the four corners of a square of side 5 cm. Find the coulomb
force experienced by one of the charges due to the rest three.
(9) A hollow cylindrical box of length 1m and area of cross section
25cm2 is placed in a three dimensional coordinate system as shown in
the figure. The electric field in the region is given by E=50xi , where
E is in N/C and x is in meters. Find:
(i) net flux through the cylinder
(ii) charge enclosed by the cylinder
(10) State Gauss's Theorem. Use it to calculate the electric field due to an infinite plane sheet of charge.
