1. What is the basic cause of quantization of charge?

2. Define the term electric field intensity. Write its SI unit. Derive an expression for the
electric field intensity at a point on the axis of an electric dipole.
3. Two point charges of 3 μC each are 100 cm apart. At what point on the line joining the
charges will the electric intensity be zero?
4. A proton is placed in a uniform electric field directed along the positive X-axis. In which
direction, will it tend to move?
5. Name the physical quantity whose S.I. unit is J/C. Is it a scalar or a vector quantity?
6. Why should electrostatic field be zero inside a conductor?
7. A charge is distributed uniformly over a ring of radius ‘a’. Obtain an expression for the
electric intensity E at a point on the axis of the ring.
8. Define Coulombs law and write its SI unit?
9. Find electric field due to infinite wire?
10. Find electric field on square centre if side a and charge distribution lambda.
