Electrostatics Problems for Class XII

This document contains 10 practice problems related to electrostatics: 1) Calculating electric potential needed to move a charge against an electric field. 2) Finding the units of a constant in the charge density equation of a non-uniformly charged rod. 3) Deriving an expression for electric potential from a uniformly distributed charge on an insulating wire. 4) Calculating the work done to bring a test charge to the apex of a cone with a uniform surface charge. 5) Deriving the time period of a particle moving in a circle around an infinitely long line charge.
