ECE 230 Electromagnetics and Wave Propogation
1. A regular tetrahedron has vertices at P1(2,0,0),P2(-1,3,0),P3(-1,- 3,0) and P4(0,0,2
2).Charges of 1mC are located at each of the four vertices. If the configuration is located in
free space find
a) The magnitude of force on each charge
b) The angle between any two edges of the tetrahedron
2. A point charge 60 mC is placed at the center of a cube. Find the total flux passing through one
face of the cube.
3. Three point charges q1=10-6C, q2=-10-6 C and q3 =0.5 x 10-6 C are located in air at the corners of
an equilateral triangle of 50 cm side. Determine the magnitude and direction of the force on q3.
4. Find E at (0,3,4) due to a point charge q=0.5 uC placed at origin.
5. A charge of -0.3uC is located at A(25,-30,15) cm and a second charge of 0.5 uC is located at B(10,8,12) cm. Find E at origin (0,0,0) and P(15,20,50) cm.
6. A charge is distributed along z-axis between +/- 6m with uniform charge density 25 nC/m.
Calcult the Electric Field Intensity at point (2,0,0) in free space.
7. A sheet of charge s= 2n C/m2 is present in the plane x=3 in free space and line charge density
l= 20 nC/m is located at P(1,0,4). Find the magnitude of electric field at the origin.
8. Find the flux density caused by a point charge at P(6,4,-5). The point charge is located at the
origin.
9. Find the electric flux density at a point P(6,4,-5) caused by line charge l= 20 uC/m on z-axis.
10. A 60 uC charge is located at the origin. Find the total electric flux passing through (a) portion
of the sphere r=26 cm bounded by 0< < and 0< and (b) the closed surface defined
by cm and z = +/- 26 cm.
