How many electrons should be removed from a coin of mas $1.6 \,g$, so that it may float in an electric field of intensity $10^9 \,N / C$ directed upward?
$9.8 \times 10^7$
$9.8 \times 10^5$
$9.8 \times 10^3$
$9.8 \times 10^1$
What is called electric field ?
Two point charges $q_1\,(\sqrt {10}\,\,\mu C)$ and $q_2\,(-25\,\,\mu C)$ are placed on the $x-$ axis at $x = 1\,m$ and $x = 4\,m$ respectively. The electric field (in $V/m$ ) at a point $y = 3\,m$ on $y-$ axis is, [ take ${\mkern 1mu} {\mkern 1mu} \frac{1}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}}} = 9 \times {10^9}{\mkern 1mu} {\mkern 1mu} N{m^2}{C^{ - 2}}{\rm{ }}$ ]
Give reason : ''Small and light pieces of paper are attracted by comb run through dry hair.''
Two point charges of $20\,\mu \,C$ and $80\,\mu \,C$ are $10\,cm$ apart. Where will the electric field strength be zero on the line joining the charges from $20\,\mu \,C$ charge......$m$
The insulation property of air breaks down at $E = 3 \times {10^6}$ $volt\,/\,metre$. The maximum charge that can be given to a sphere of diameter $5\,m$ is approximately (in coulombs)
