2. A uniformly charged conducting sphere of 2.4 m diameter has a surface charge density of 80.0
mC/m2.
(a) Find the charge on the sphere.
(b) What is the total electric flux leaving the surface of the sphere ?
3.6) A molecule of a substance has a permanent electric dipole moment of magnitude 10 –29 C m. A mole of
this substance is polarised (at low temperature) by applying a strong electrostatic field of magnitude
IR
106 V m–1. The direction of the field is suddenly changed by an angle of 60º. Estimate the heat released
by the substance in aligning its dipoles along the new direction of the field. For simplicity, assume

7. An electric toaster uses nichrome for its heating element. When a negligibly small current passes
through it, its resistance at room temperature (27.0 °C) is found to be 75.3 W. When the toaster
is connected to a 230 V supply, the current settles, after a few seconds, to a steady value of 2.68 A.
What is the steady temperature of the nichrome element ? The temperature coefficient of
resistance of nichrome averaged over the temperature range involved, is 1.70 ´ 10–4 °C–1.
