MIDTERMI WORKSHEET

1) Why should electrostatic field be zero inside a conductor? 2) Why must electrostatic field be normal to the conductor at every point of a charged conductor? 3) Depict the equipotential surfaces for a system of two identical positive point charges placed at a distanced apart. 4) Deduce the expression for the potential energy of a system of two point charges qa and qb from infinity to the points r1 and r2 respectively in the presence of external electric field E. 5) A positive point charge +q iskept in the vicinity of an uncharged conducting plate. Sketch the electric field lines originating from the point on to the surface of the plate. 6) Derive the expression for the electric field at the surface of a charged conductor. 7) Define the term electric dipole moment. Is it a scalar or a vector? 8) Deduce an expression for the electric field at appoint on the equatorial plane of an electric dipole of length2a. 9) What is the value of polarizing angle of a medium of refractive index3. 10)An electric dipole When held at 30degrees with respect to a uniform electric field of 104 N/C experiences a torque of 9 x 1026 Nm. Calculate dipole moment of the dipole. 11) Derive an expression for the energy stored in a parallel plate capacitor with air as the medium between the plates. 12) Show on a graph , the variation of resistivity with temperature for atypical semiconductor. 13)Two wires of equal length , one of copper and the other of magnanin have the same resistance. Which wire is thicker? 14)Define resistivity of a conductor . write its SI unit. 15) State Kirchoffs rules of current distribution in an electrical network.

16)State with the help of circuit diagram , the working principle of a meter bridge. What happens if the galvanometer and cell are interchanged at the balance point of the bridge? Why is it considered important to obtain the balance point near the midpoint of the wire?
