Topic : Electric Charges and Fields, Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance
1) A cavity of irregular shape exists within a charged conductor. [1]
a) What is the field in the cavity?
b) If a charge q is kept within the cavity, will the field inside and outside the cavity change?

2) What is the magnitude of electric field due to an electric dipole [1]

a) along axis
b) along equator

3) How is electric flux over a given area related to [1]

a) charge
b) electric field

4) What is the effect of an external electric field on a dielectric placed in it? [1]

5) Three charges –4Q, –Q and +4Q are placed at points x = 0, x = a, x = 2a respectively.

Which of the three charges is in equilibrium? [1]

1
6) The two graphs drawn below, show the variation of electrostatic potential (V) with
r
(r being distance of the field point from the point charge) for two point charges q1 and q2.
[2]
a) What are the signs of the two charges?
b) Which of the two charges has a larger magnitude and why?

q1
v

(1/r)

q2

7) Distinguish between electric potential and potential energy. [1]

8) A capacitor C charged to potential V is disconnected from battery and connected to

another uncharged capacitor C. What happens to i) energy ii) potential and iii) charge
after connection? [2]

9) A slab of material of dielectric constant K has the same area as the plates of a parallel
3
plate capacitor but has thickness d where d is the separation of the plates. How is the
4
capacitance affected if the slab is inserted between the plates? [2]

10) Derive an expression for the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor with a dielectric
medium K between the plates. [3]
