Assignment # 03 Electricity & Magnetism (BSI-151) Fall Semester-2023

Note: Use neat pages, no printed copy is valid, only hand written assignment is acceptable.

Q#1:
Define and explain a capacitor; also derive relations for the capacitance of parallel plate
capacitor, cylinderical capacitor, and spherical capacitor. Give step by step explain for
each equation. (CLO1:C2:PLO1)

Q#2:
What is the effect of a dielectric on the capacitance of a capacitor. Explain your answer on
the basis of atomic view of dielectric material with appropriate mathematical derivations.
(CLO1:C2:PLO1)

Q#3:
Define electric current, current density, and drift velocity; also derive a relation that shows
a relation between current density and drift velocity. (CLO2:C3:PLO2)

Q#4:
Define resistance and resistivity. Also derive a relation which show that resistivity depends
only on temprature of the conducting material. (CLO1:C2:PLO1)

Q#5:
What is meant by series and parallel combination of resistors and capacitors. Derive rela-
tions for the series and parallel combintion of resistors and capacitors. (CLO1:C2:PLO1)

Q#6:
Define magnetic field; also find a relation for the magnetic force on a current carrying
wire placed in a magnetic field. (CLO1:C2:PLO1)

Q#7:
When a current carrying loop is placed in a magnetic field, a torque will act on it; derive
a relation for the torque, explaining it with appropriate diagrams. (CLO1:C2:PLO1)
