Q2: Write short answers to the following questions: (2 x 6 = 12)

i. The potential is constant throughout a given region of space. Is the electrical field zero or
non-zero in this region? Explain.
ii. How can you identify that which plate of a capacitor is positively charged?
iii. Electric lines of force never cross. Why?
iv. If a point charge q of mass m is released in a non-uniform electric field with field lines
pointing in the same direction, will it make a rectilinear motion?
v. Is E necessarily zero inside a charged rubber balloon if balloon is spherical? Assume that
charge is distributed uniformly over the surface.
vi. Do electrons tend to go to region of high potential or of low potential?
Q3 a) State and explain Gauss law and also find out the electric field intensity due to an
infinite sheet of charges.

b) A point charge q = 8.0 108 C is placed at the origin. Calculate electric field at
a point 2.0 m from the origin on the z-axis.
