    1. The force between two point charges decreases if the dielectric constant of the medium is increased. As dielectric constant k increases, the force FM decreases according to the equation FM=FV/k, where FV is the force in a vacuum. 2. If two point charges experience a force F at a distance r in air, then in a medium with dielectric constant k they will experience the same force F at a distance of r/√k. 3. If a brass rod is placed between two charges in a vacuum, the force between them will decrease, as brass has a dielectric constant greater than 1.

    CHAPTER – 1 Electric charges And Field

    Worksheet -2
    1. Does the Force Between Two Point Charges Change if the Dielectric Constant of the
    Medium in Which they are Kept is Increased?

    Ans: Dielectric constant of a medium is given by


    k=FV/FM=force between the charges in vacuum /force between two charges in medium
    ⇒FM=FV/ k
    From the above expression, it is clear that as k is increased, FM gets decreased.

    2. Two point charges placed at a distance r in air exerts a force F on each other. At what
    distance will these changes experience the same force F in the medium of dielectric
    constant k?

    Ans: Two point charge placed at a certain distance = r


    force = F, dielectric constant =k
    Let, two point charges q1 and q2 are separated r distance from each other.
    Then, force experienced between then, Fair= q1q2/4πϵ0r2 = F
    force experienced between then, F medium = q1q2/4πϵ0 k r’2 = F
    Dividing both the equations we get, kr’2 / r2 = 1 , r’ = r /√𝒌

    3. A force F is acting between two charges placed some distance apart in vacuum. If a
    brass rod is placed between these two charges, how does the force change?
    Ans:
    Force acting between two point charge in vacuum F = q1 q2 /4πε0r2
    force between point charge in medium

    4. A free pith ball A of mass 8g carries a positive charge of 5x10-8 C . What must be the
    magnitude of charge that should be given to a second pith ball B fixed 5 cm vertically
    below the former pith ball so that the upper pith ball is stationary?
    Ans:

    1
    5. Two similar balls of mass m are hung from silk threads of length ℓ and carry similar
    charges +q and +q. Prove that when the system is in equilibrium, separation between the
    balls is x = (q2ℓ/2πε0mg )1/3, assuming the angle made by the threads with the vertical
    line passing through the point of suspension is small.

    Ans:

    6. Two point charges q1 and q2 are 3m apart and their combined charge is 20 𝜇C. If one

    charge at A remains in equilibrium

    Now, F⃗1=q1q2/4π∈0AB2 =9×109× (2×10−6)(3×10−6)/(0.20)2 =1.35N along AB
    F⃗ 2=q1q2/4π∈0AC2=9×109×(2×10−6)(3×10−6)/(0.20)2= 1.35N, along AC
    Resultant force of F1 and F2
    F = √ 𝐹12 + 𝐹22 + 2𝐹12 𝐹22 cos 60 = √ 1.352 + 1.352 + 21.35 𝑥 1.35 𝑥 0.5 = 1.35√3 = 2.34N along AM
