ASSIGNMENT #5

ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS : COULOMB’S LAW AND ELECTRIC FIELD INTENSITY

Problem solving. Show your solutions and box your final answers.

1. Point charges of 1 nC and −2 nC are located at (0, 0, 0) and (1, 1, 1), respectively,
in free space. Determine the vector force acting on each charge.

2. A point charge of 10^-9 C is placed at a point A in free space. Calculate the

intensity of electrostatic field at a distance 5 cm from point A.

3. Calculate the distance of separation between two electrons (in vacuum) for which
the electric force between them is equal to gravitational force on them at the earth

Integrity is doing the right thing even when no one is watching.
