Question 1
Consider a line of charges, q1 = 8.0μC at the origin, q2 = -12μC at 2.0 cm, and q3 = 10μC at 4.0cm, as shown in
Figure. What is the force on q3 due to the other two charges?
Question 2
Arrange three charges in the form of an equilateral triangle as shown in Figure and find the force on q3 due to
the other two
Question 3
Consider two conducting balls both of mass m and equal charge q suspended by non-conducting cords of equal
length, l as shown in Figure. How does the separation of the balls depend on charge, mass, and length?
Question 4
Two charges Q1 and Q2 are inside a closed cubical box of side ‘a’. What is the net outward flux through the
box?
Question 5
Two particles, with charges of 20.0 nC and -20.0 nC, are placed at the points with coordinates (0, 4.00 cm)
and (0, -4.00 cm), as shown in Figure 3. A particle with 10.0 nC charge is located at the origin. (a) Find the
electric potential energy of the configuration of the three fixed charges. (b) A fourth particle, with a mass of
2.00 × 10-13 kg and a charge of 40.0 nC, is released from rest at the point (3.00 cm, 0). Find its speed after it
has moved freely to a very large distance away.
