1. Of the charge Q initially on a tiny sphere, a portion q is to be transferred to a second, nearby sphere.
Both spheres can be treated as particles and are fixed with a certain separation. For what value of q/Q
will the electrostatic force between the two spheres be maximized?

2. Four charges +2q, +4q, +2q and –2q are placed at the corners of a square. (i) Draw the arrangement of
the charges. (ii) Calculate the magnitude and direction of electrostatic forces on a charge -1q at the
intersection of the diagonals of the square of side 10 cm if q = 3×10−9C.

3. From figure 01, (i) Calculate the magnitude of net force on test charge q0. (ii) Calculate the direction of
net force on test charge q0.

5. What is the magnitude of the electrostatic force between a singly charged sodium ion ( Na+, of charge
+e) and an adjacent singly charged chlorine ion (Cl-, of charge -e) in a salt crystal if their separation is
2.82 × 10-10 m.

diagonals of the square of side 10 cm if q =57×10−9C.

coordinates (1,0). Draw the charge arrangement and determine the value of the following quantities at
the origin: (i) the magnitude of the electric field E, (ii) the direction of the electric field.

strength 5.4×10-8 N/C. (i) Calculate the magnitude of the torque on the dipole when the dipole moment
is (a) parallel to and (b) perpendicular to the electric field. (ii) How much work is required to turn an
electric dipole 1800 in a uniform electric field of magnitude E = 5.4×10-8 N/C if the dipole moment has
the initial angle 650.
