4. Find the force of electrostatic attraction between the proton and electron in a hydrogen
atom if the radius of the atom is 3.71 x 10-11 m, given electrostatic constant, k = 8.99 x 109
Nm2/C2, charge of a proton is 1.6 x 10-19 C and charge of an electron is -1.6 x 10-19 C.

5. Point charges 1 mC and -2 mC are located at (3, 2, -1) and (-1, -1, 4), respectively. Calculate the
electric force on a 10 nC charge located at (0, 3, 1) and the electric field intensity at that point.

6. Two point charges of equal mass, m, charge +Q are suspended at a common point by two
threads of negligible mass and length, l. Show that at equilibrium angle, , of each thread
to the vertical is given by:
