PROBLEM SET NO.6
ELECTRICITY

1. THE PING PONG BALLS HAVING EQUAL CHARGES AND EQUAL MASSES OF
0.250 g ARE SUSPENDED FROM A NAIL BY A NYLON THREADS 125 cm LONG.
ELECTROSTATIC REPULSION KEEPS THEM 200 mm APART. CALCULATE THE
CHARGE ON EACH BALL.

2. TWO POINT CHARGES q1= 2.1 x 10-8 C AND q2= -4q1 ARE FIXED IN
PLACE 50 cm APART. FIND THE POINT ALONG THE STRAIGHT LINE
PASSING THROUGH THE TWO CHARGES AT WHICH THE ELECTRIC FIELD IS
ZERO.

3. FOR THE NETWORK SHOWN, COMPLETELY FILL THE TABLE BELOW, IF A

120-V SOURCE WERE CONNECTED ACROSS THE OPEN END OF THE CIRCUIT.
 R(Ω) I(Ampere) V(volt) P(Watts)
R1 6Ω
R2 7Ω
R3 4Ω
R4 12Ω
R5 6Ω
R6 3Ω
R7 10Ω
R8 5Ω
R9 4Ω
R10 4Ω
R11 2Ω
R12 6Ω
R13 2Ω
Rt 120V

4. USING MAXWELL’S MESH CURRENT LAW, FIND OUT CURRENTS’ I1, I2 AND I3
IN THE BRANCHES OF THE NETWORK SHOWN.
5. IF THE TERMINAL VOLTAGE OF Ɛ3 IN THE CIRCUIT SHOWN IS 7V, AND
THE VOLTAGE ACROSS R4 IS 4V
A) DETERMINE THE EMF’S Ɛ1 AND Ɛ2 USING KIRCHOFF’S LAWS.
B) DETERMINE THE POWER DISSIPATED IN EACH RESISTOR AND
C) THE POWER DELIVERED BY Ɛ1 AND Ɛ2
