Grade : XII UNIT- ELECTROSTATICS

1. A charge q is placed at the center of the line joining two equal charges Q.
Show that the system of three charges will be in equilibrium if 4q + Q=0

2.Two charges 3 x10 5 C and 5x10 4 C are placed at a distance 10 cm from

each other. Find the value of electrostatic force acting between them.

3.Given a uniformly charged plane/ sheet of surface charge density

σ=2×1017C/m2 (i) Find the electric field intensity at a point A, 5mm away
from the sheet on the left side. (ii) Given a straight line with three points X,
Y & Z placed 50 cm away from the charged sheet on the right side. At which
of these points, the field due to the sheet remains the same as that of point
A and why?

4. A point charge +2Q is placed at the centre O of an uncharged hollow

spherical conductor of inner radius p and outer radius q. Find the following:

(a) The magnitude and sign of the charge induced on the inner and outer
surface of the conducting shell.

(b) The magnitude of the electric field vector at a distance (i) r =p/2 and (ii) r
= 2q, from the centre of the shell.

5.Two charges ±10µC are placed 5.00 mm apart. Determine the electric
field at (a) A point P on this axis of the dipole 15 cm away from its center
O on the side of the positive charge.
(b) A point Q , 15 cm away from O on a line passing through O and normal to
the axis of the dipole.

6. A charge Q is divided in two parts q and Q - q separated by a distance R. If

force between the two charges is maximum, find the relationship between q &
Q.

7. What is the angle between the directions of the electric field at any (a) axial
point and (b) equatorial point due to an electric dipole?

8. Draw an equipotential surface for a system consisting of two charges q, -q

separated by a distance r in air. Locate the points where the potential due to
the dipole is zero. 9. How much work is done in moving a 500 µC charge
between two pints on an equipotential surface?

10.Sketch graph to show how charge 'q' given to a capacitor of capacitance

C varies with the potential difference.
