attractive or repulsive when (a) q1 q2 > 0 (b) q1 q2 < 0?
2.Two-point charges having equal charges separated by distance 1m experience a force of 8N. What will
be the force experienced by them, if they are held in water, at the same distance?
3.A proton is placed in a uniform electric field directed along the positive x-axis. In which direction will it
tend to move?
4.Which physical quantity has its S.I. unit 1). Cm ? 2). N/C ?
5.Five-point charges, each of charge +q are placed on five vertices of a regular hexagon of side ‘l’. Find
the magnitude of the resultant force on a charge –q placed at the centre of the hexagon.
6.Two identical point charges, q each, are kept 2 m apart in air. A third point charge Q of unknown
magnitude and sign is placed on the line joining the charges such that the system remains in equilibrium.
Find the position and nature of Q.
7.The given figure shows the electric field lines around three-point charges A, B and C.

plate.
10.Does the charge given to a metallic sphere depend on whether it is hollow or solid? Give reason for
your answer.
11.Two identical conducting balls A and B have charges –Q and +3Q respectively. They are brought in
contact with each other and then separated by a distance d apart. Find the nature of the Coulomb force
between them.
12.Figure shows two large metal plates P1 and P2, tightly held against each other and
placed between two equal and unlike point charges perpendicular to the line joining them.

electric field lines for the system.
