Math (Chapter 1)

1. Determine the force between two free electrons spaced 1 Å apart.

2. Two point charges 𝑞1 and 𝑞2 are 3m apart and their combined charge is
20 𝜇𝐶. What are the magnitude of the two charges if (a) one repels the
other with a force of 0.075 N and (b) attracts the other with a force of 0.525
N?

3. A Copper coin has a mass of 3.1 gm. Being electrically neutral, it contains
equal amount of positive and negative electricity. What is the magnitude
q of these charges?
[Given, a copper atom has a positive nuclear charge of 29e and a negative
electronic charge of equal magnitude, e being the charge of an electron.]

4. What should be the distance of separation between the total positive and
negative charges of the copper coin of example 3 such that their force of
attraction is 4.5 N?

5. The distance r between the electron and proton in the hydrogen atom is
about 5.3 × 10−11 meter. What are the magnitudes of (a) the electric
force, (b) the gravitational force between these two particles?

6. What is the magnitude of the electric field strength such that an electron,
placed in the field, would experience an electric force equal to its weight?

7. A disk has a radius R of 2.5 cm and a surface charge density 𝜎 of


5.8 𝜇𝐶/𝑚2 on its upper surface. Calculate: (i) the electric field at a point
on the central axis at a distance x = 12 cm from the disk and (ii) the electric
field at the surface of the disk.

8. An electric dipole consists of two opposite charges of magnitude 2 × 10−6


C separated by a distance 𝑙 = 10 𝑚𝑚. It is placed in an external electric
field of 2 × 105 N/C.
(i) What is the maximum torque does the field exert on the dipole?
(ii) How much work must an external agent do to turn the dipole from
its initial alignment given by 𝜃 = 0° to final alignment 𝜃 = 90° ?
