Answers
1. In the presence of a charged body, an insulated conductor develops
positive charge at one end and negative charge at the other end. This
process is called electrostatic induction.
2. Electroscope is used to detect the presence of charge and test the
nature of charge i.e. either positive charge or negative charge.
3. Like charges repel each other when come close to each other whereas
unlike charges attract each other when co0me close to each other.
4. The force of attraction or repulsion between two point charges is
directly proportional to the product of the magnitude of charges and
inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Mathematically it is written as:

5. The value of k in Columbus law depends on the medium between


the two charges. Its numerical value is 9*109 Nm2C6. The electric field is a region around a charge in which it exerts
electrostatic force on another charges.
The electric field intensity at any point is defined as the force acting on a unit
positive charge placed at the point. It is a force and therefore a vector quantity.
7.

The direction of electric field intensity in an electric field can also


be represented drawing lines called electric lines of forces.

8.

Electric potential at a point in an electric field is equal to the


amount of work done in bringing a unit positive charge from
infinity to that point. Its mathematical expression is;
V = W/q

Its unit is J/C.


9. The energy supplied by a unit charge as it moves from one point to the
other in the direction of the field is called potential difference between
two points.
10.

Capacitors are the devices used to store the charges.

11.

If one coulomb of charge given to the plates of a capacitor


produces a potential difference of one volt between the plates of the
capacitance then its capacitance would be one farad.

12.

The equation for the capacitance when capacitors are in series


combination is:
Ce = C1 + C2 +C3

The equation for the capacitance when capacitors are in parallel


combination is:
1/Ce = 1/C1 + 1/C2 +1/C3
