Exercise 01
Q4 Q3
Four charges 𝑄1, 𝑄2, 𝑄3, and 𝑄4 are arranged as shown in the a
opposite figure.
1) Represent on the figure the electric forces applied to the a
electric charge Q3
2) Write the analytical expression for each electric force acting
on the electric charge Q3 Q2
Q1
3) Calculate the net force applied to charge 𝑄3. ( Q1 = Q2 = Q3 =
1 μC, Q4= 2μC)

Exercise 02

Two tiny conducting balls of identical mass m and identical charge q hang from LƟ Ɵ
non-conducting threads of length L. Assume that θ is so small that tan θ can be
replaced by sin θ; show that, for equilibrium: 𝑋 = (𝑞 2 𝐿/𝑚𝑔2𝜋𝜀0 )1/3 Q Q

Exercise 03

In the basic CsCl (Cesium chloride) crystal, Cs+ ions form the corners of a cube
and a Cl- ion is
at the centre of cube. Edge length is 0.40 nm.
(a) What is the magnitude of the net electrostatic force exerted on Cl- ion by the
eight Cs+ ions?

Exercise 04

What is the nature of the electrical


charges carried by the balls shown in the
figure? E C C B B A (q+)

2) We want to put the charge 𝑞𝑎 = −1 𝜇𝐶
between two charges 𝑞𝑐 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑞𝑏 (on the line joining the two charges as shown figure below) where
the applied force from 𝑞𝑏 = +1𝜇𝐶 charge on the charge 𝑞𝑎 is cancelled by the force from the charge
𝑞𝑐 = +2 𝜇𝐶 charge. Since forces are vectors,. We will assume that the 1 μC charge is some distance
x from the +1μC. Calculate the distance x between 𝑞𝑎 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑞𝑏

𝑞𝑐 = +2 𝜇𝐶 𝑞𝑎 = −1 𝜇𝐶 𝑞𝑏 = +1𝜇𝐶
