    1. In a neutral sphere, 5 × 1021 electrons are present.

    If 10 percent electrons are


    removed, then calculate the charge on the sphere

    2. Calculate the number of electrons in 100 grams of CO2.


    3. A polythene piece rubbed with wool is found to have a negative charge of 3.2
    × 10.7 C. Find the
    (a) number of electrons transferred.
    (b) mass gained by the polythene
    4. How many electrons should be removed from a conductor so that it acquires a
    positive charge of 3.5 nC

    5. Two identical metal spheres carry charges of + q and . 2q respectively. When


    the spheres are separated by a large distance r, the force between them is F.
    Now the spheres are allowed to touch and then moved back to the same
    separation. Find the new force of repulsion between them

    CBSE
    1.1 What is the force between two small charged spheres having charges of 2 × 10–
    7C and 3 × 10–7C placed 30 cm apart in air?
    1.2 The electrostatic force on a small sphere of charge 0.4 mC due to another small
    sphere of charge –0.8 mC in air is 0.2 N. (a) What is the distance between the two
    spheres? (b) What is the force on the second sphere due to the first?
    1.3 Check that the ratio ke2/G memp is dimensionless. Look up a Table of Physical
    Constants and determine the value of this ratio. What does the ratio signify?
    1.4 (a) Explain the meaning of the statement ‘electric charge of a body is quantised’.
    (b) Why can one ignore quantisation of electric charge when dealing with
    macroscopic i.e., large scale charges?
    1.5 When a glass rod is rubbed with a silk cloth, charges appear on both. A similar
    phenomenon is observed with many other pairs of bodies. Explain how this
    observation is consistent with the law of conservation of charge.
    1.6 Four point charges qA = 2 mC, qB = –5 mC, qC = 2 mC, and qD = –5 mC are
    located at the corners of a square ABCD of side 10 cm. What is the force on a
    charge of 1 mC placed at the centre of the square?
