(b) Electric field lines can be depicted graphically, show the pictorial
representation of a Uniform E-Field, Non-Uniform E-field and the E-field
around a Positively and Negatively charged particle.
(c) A conductor possesses a positive charge of 6.4 x 10 -19 C. How many
electrons does it have in excess or deficit? (Take e = 1.6 x 10 -19 C).
