I. True or False: Write T if the statement is true and F if the statement is false. Strictly NO ERASURE. No Cheating
1. T The volume charge density is defined as the total charge over the total volume.
2. F In integral volume, a single integral sign is used but pratically througout th volume it becomes double integration.
3. F If the dimensions of a surface carrying a charge is very very small compared to the region surrounding it, then the surface
can be treated to be a volume.
4. F Electric field intensity around a charge Q1 is inversely proportional to the charge Q2.
5. F The electric field at any point and force exerted on a charge placed at the same point are always in the opposite direction.
6. T The electric field at a point due to “n” number of charge is to be obtain using law of superposition.
7. T The definition of electric field intensity is the force per unit charge which is also measured in V/m (volts per meter).
8. T As two charges are of opposite polarity, the force F is attractive in nature.
9. T If there are more charges exerting a force on the charge under consideration, the vector sum of all the forces calculated is
the resultant force exerted on the charge under consideration.
10. F The coulombs law states that force between the two point charges Q1 and Q2 acts along the region joining the two charges
is directly proportional to the product of the two charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between
them.

II. Solve the following problems WITH COMPLETE SOLUTION. DO NOT ROUND off your answers. Strictly no
cheating.

1. Eight point charges, each of 25uC are located on A(1,2,3), B(2,3,3), C(1,2,2), D(-1,2,3), E(0,1,3),F(2,4,4),G(3,1,0),H(0,0,1)
