Important Questions on Coulomb's Law and Electric Field
Find the force experienced by a semi-circular rod having a charge as shown in figure. Radius of the wire is , and the line of charge with linear charge density passes through its centre and is perpendicular to the plane of wire.

A large sheet carries uniform surface charge density . A rod of length has a linear charge density on one half and on the second half. The rod is hinged at the midpoint and makes an angle with the normal to the sheet. The torque experienced by the rod is:


Ball repels and attracts .
Ball attracts and has no effect on .
A negatively charged rod attracts both and .
An electrically neutral Styrofoam ball gets attracted if placed nearby a charged body due to induced charge. What are the charges, if any, on each ball and ?


A positively charged particle enters the region between two parallel plates with a velocity , in a direction parallel to the plates. There is a uniform electric field in this region. emerges from this region with a velocity .
Taking as a constant, will depend on as

A conducting spherical shell is earthed. A positive charge is placed at the centre and another small positive charge is placed at a distance from (see figure). Ignore the effect of induced charge due to the on the sphere. Then the Coulomb force on is

A conducting spherical shell is neutral. A positive charge is placed at the centre and another small positive charge is placed at a distance from (see figure). Ignore the effect of induced charge due to on the sphere. The force on is
