Syllabus :UNIT 1 Electrostatics(Ch 1 and Ch 2 of NCERT BOOK XII)
Q1. (a) Name any two basic properties of a charge.
(b) An atom was earlier assumed to be a sphere of radius a having a positively
charged point nucleus of charge +Ze at its centre. This nucleus was believed to be
surrounded by a uniform density of negative charge that made the atom neutral as a
whole. find the electric field of this atom at a distance r (r<) .
Q2.(a) Sketch the electric field lines due to two equal +ve point charges placed near
each other.
(b)How does the force between two point charges change if the dielectric constant of
the medium in which they are kept increases?
(c) An electric dipole is placed in a uniform external field E. Obtain the expression of
torque on the dipole.What is the net force experienced by the dipole?

Q3.(a) The electric field components in the fig. are Ex =


x1/2, Ey= Ez=0. In which = 800N/Cm-1/2. Calculate (a)
the flux E through the cube, and (b) the charge within
the cube. Assume a = 0.1m

(b)State Gauss theoram. Apply this theorem to obtain the expression for the electric
field intensity at a point due to an infinitely long, thin, uniformaly charged straight wire.
Q.4. (a) For any charge configuration, equipotential surface through a point is normal
to the electric field at that point.Justify this statement with proper reasoning.

(b) Two insulated concentric metal spheres A and B have radii R 1 and R2, and have

charges Q1 and Q2respectively .What is the potential and intensity of electric field
at a point P between the spheres at a distance r from the centre of the spheres ?
Q.5.(a) Draw a plot showing the variation of (i) electric field and (ii) electric
potential with distance r due to a point charge Q on the same axis.
(b)Aswin asked his Physics teacher why are voltmeter, galvanometer and ammeter kept
in a cavity inspite of its outer covering being made of an insulator.
a) What values did Aswin have? b) Explain electrostatic shielding
Q.6.(a). A point charge q is placed at O as shown in the figure. Is V p- Vq positive or
negative when (i) q >0
(ii) and q<0? Justify your answer.

(b)Sketch graph to show how charge Q given to a capacitor of capacitance C varies


with the potential difference V. Prove that the energy stored in the capacitor has a
density of 0E2.
Q.7.(a)Find the equivalent capacitance of the combination of capacitors between the
points A and B as shown in the figure.

(b)A 4F capacitor is charged by a 200 V supply. The supply is then disconneced and
the charged capacitor is connected to another uncharged 2 F capacitor. How much
electrostatic energy of the first capacitor is lost in the process of attaining the steady
situation?
