    The document discusses static and current electricity, including Coulomb's law describing the force between two electric charges, the zero potential of Earth, Ohm's law relating voltage, current and resistance, and how thickness of a wire and opening/closing of keys in circuits impact resistance and current. It asks questions about determining the force between charges, finding the point of zero electric intensity between charges, why thicker wires allow more current, and what value of resistance is needed or what change to a circuit is required to achieve a given current.

    Static and Current Electricity

    Two charges A and B are placed in vacuum medium.


    a. Write Coulomb’s law.
    b. Why is the potential of Earth considered zero? Explain.
    c. Determine the force acting between the charges A and B.
    d. Prove that, there is only one point on the connecting line between A and B where the
    resultant electric intensity is zero. Find out the position of that point.

    a. Write down Ohm’s law.


    b. Why does more current flow through a thick wire compared to a thin wire of similar
    material and length?
    c. In fig-1 if key k1 is kept open, what is the value of the resistance ‘x’?
    d. In fig-2, what needs to be done to get a current of 3A? (keeping the battery voltage and
    the value of the resistances unchanged). Explain mathematically.
