WORKSHEET-1
1) Calculate the charge carried by 12.5 ×108 electrons .
2) What is the nature of electrostatic force between two point charges q1 and q2 if (i) q1+q2>0 (ii) q1+q2<0?
3) When 1014 electrons are removed from a neutral body the charge on the body becomes positively charged or
negatively charged. Justify your answer.
4) What is the impact of dielectric on the electrostatic force if air is replaced by a dielectric of dielectric constant K?
5) A comb drawn through person’s hair on a dry day causes 1022 electrons to leave the hairs and stick on the comb.
Calculate the charge on the comb.
6) Two equal balls having equal positive charge suspended by two insulating strings of equal lengths. What would
be the effect on on the force when a plastic sheet is inserted between the two?
7) Two insulated charged spheres A and B of identical size have charges Qa and -3Qa respectively. When they are
brought in contact and then separated, what will be the new charges on them?
8) Two insulated charged copper spheres A and B of identical size have charges q A and q B respectively. A third
sphere C of same size but uncharged is brought in contact with the first and then in contact with second and
finally removed from both. What are the new charges on A and B?
9) Four point charges 2uC, -5uC, 2uC and -5uC are located on the corners of a square ABCD respectively of side 10
cm. What is the force on a charge of 1uC placed at centre of it.

side 20 cm. What should be the sign and magnitude of charge to be placed at the mid point M of side BC so that
charge at A remains in equilibrium?
12) Two charges q and -3q are placed fixed on x-axis separated by a distance d. Where should a third charge 2q be
placed such that it will not experience any force?
13) Four point charges Q,q,Q and q are placed at the corners of a square of side a. Find the resultant force on Q.
14) Three point charges q,-4q and 2q are placed at the vertices of and equilateral triangle of side l. obtain the

charge on each ball.
