Solutions
1. They can, if the charge on one ball is much greater than that of the other. The net force of
attraction caused by induced charges may exceed the net force of repulsion.

2. To conduct away electricity produced by friction

3. This is because; protons are tightly bond in the nucleus. They cannot be removed from there
easily.

4. A charged rod first attracts the dust by producing unlike charge at the near end like charge at
the far end. When the cork dust touches the rod, however, it acquires like charge and so is
repelled strongly by the charge on the rod.

5. This is to avoid producing sparks. Rubber soled shoes acquire charge by friction with the floor
and could discharge with a spark, possibly causing an explosion.

6. No, life would be no different if the electrons were positively charged and the protons were
negatively charged. Opposite charges would still attract and the like charges would still repel.
The naming of positive and negative charges is merely a convention.

28. The net force here is only due to +3q because the forces due to all other charges cancel due to
1  2q   3q 
the symmetry considerations. Hence the net force on -2q must be and it is
4  0 d2
directed to the left.

29. Though the electrons are free, they are still held inside the conductor, by Coulomb’s forces of
attraction of the positively charged nuclei. The ratio of gravitational to the electrostatic forces
of attraction between two charged particles is about 10-38. Hence the free electron do nto settle
at the bottom like the sediments in water.

55. Consider the charges -4q and –q placed at A and B. A third charge Q is placed at P, such that
the system is in equilibrium. This means that every charge in the system experiences zero net
force. The force exerted by –q on -4q is repulsive. In order that the charge -4q experiences zero
net force, the force exerted by Q on -4q must be attractive. Therefore, the charge Q must be
positive. Let Q be placed at a distance x from -4q. For the equilibrium of Q.

Near the negative charge, the electric field is directed towards it. Therefore at C the electric
field is towards A. At D the net electric field due to +q and –q is directed towards A. At E the
electric field (near the positive charge) is directed away form +q.

 The point charge Q placed at the centre of the shell induces an equal amount of negative charge
(-Q) on the inner surface and hence a positive charge +Q at the outer surface. The net charge on
the outer surface becomes (q +Q).

70. Ans (3)

The electric field between two plates charged equally with the same kind of charge is zero.
Therefore the electric field at 4 and 5 is zero. For the points outside the plates, the electric field

is E  . Therefore, the electric fields at 1, 2 and 3 are equal

The relative permittivity of metals is infinity. Therefore, the electric field inside a metal block is
zero.

79. Ans (1)

As the electron enters the electric field normally, it experience a force opposite to the direction
of electric field. The velocity normal to the electric field remains unaffected, whereas it
accelerates opposite to the direction of the electric field. The resulting path of an electron will
be a parabola

Since the charges are of same magnitude the forces are the same. The accelerations are
different as the masses are different.
