1. Point charges of Q1 = -5 nC, Q2 = 8 nC and Q3 with unknown amount of charge are located
at (0, 2, -5) m, (1, -1, 3) m and (3, -4, 3) m, respectively. Determine the charge of Q3 if the
z-component of the total electric force due to Q1, Q2 and Q3 at the origin (0, 0, 0) is ZERO.

4. Figure 1 below shows a capacitor which is made of a 900 sector. The two conducting plates
are at the plane z = 0 and z = t while there is a layer of dielectric material for 0 < z < t. The
top conducting plate (z = t) is at V = Vo and the bottom conducting plate (z = 0) is at V =
0. For the geometry as in Figure 1 below, derive the formula for the capacitance in terms
of a, b, t, and . [11 marks]
