Important Questions on Electric Charges and Fields
Sketch the electric field lines for a uniformly charged hollow cylinder shown in figure -

The figure presents a crystal unit of cesium chloride,. The cesium atoms, represented by open circles are situated at the comers of a cube of side , whereas atom is situated at the center of the cube. The atoms are deficient in one electron while the atom carries an excess electron. What is the net electric field on the atom due to eight atoms ?

The figure represents a crystal unit of cesium chloride,. The cesium atoms, represented by open circles are situated at the corners of a cube of side , whereas atom is situated at the centre of the cube. The atoms are deficient in one electron while the atom carries an excess electron.
Suppose that the atom at the corner A is missing. What is the net force on the atom due to seven remaining atoms?

Figure shows the electric field lines around three point charges and . Which charges are positive?

Five charges, each are placed at the corners of a regular pentagon of side 'a'.
(i) What will be the electric field at O, the centre of the pentagon?
(ii) What will be the electric field at O if the charge from one of the corners (say A) is removed?
(iii) What will be the electric field at O if the charge at A is replaced by ?
How would your answer to be affected if pentagon is replaced by n-sided regular polygon with charge at each of its corners?

Two charges each are fixed separated by distance . A third charge of mass placed at the mid-point is displaced slightly by perpendicular to the line joining the two fixed charged as shown in Figure. Show that will perform simple harmonic oscillation of time period.
