    Department of Mathematics & Physics


    PHY-108 (Physics II); Section 18
    Assignment / HW #1; Submission due on 25 February 2023

    Reading: Halliday, Resnick and Walker, Sections 21-1 through 21-3, and 22-1 through 22-3.
    Note: This assignment (like others) has both Questions and Problems from Halliday, Resnick,
    and Walker. Questions require a qualitative answer, derivation of mathematical expression and
    you should explain your reasoning for each answer clearly and fully. Problems are usually
    quantitative, and generally require you to give a numerical answer. Again, you should carefully
    explain all the steps in your reasoning process.

    1. Although they are not found in nature, some kinds of charges other than + and  are
    logically possible. Describe what properties they would have, i.e., how you would know
    when charges other than + and  are present.

    2. The mass of the earth is 5.981024 kg and the mass of the moon is 7.361022 kg. The
    value for the Universal Gravitational Constant is G = 6.671011 Nm2 /kg2 . (For your
    reference, all such constants can be found in the appendices at the back of Halliday,
    Resnick, and Walker.)
    Now, what equal positive charges would need to be placed on the earth and the moon so
    that the repulsive electrostatic force cancels the attractive gravitational force? (You
    might think that you need to know the distance between the earth and moon to answer
    this question, but actually, you don't. However, if you want the distance, it is 3.82108
    m.)

    3. [Halliday, Resnick and Walker, Chapter 21, pages 624 - 629, Problem 7]

    In the Fig. shown below, three charged particles lie on an x axis. Particles 1 and 2 are
    fixed in place. Particle 3 is free to move, but the net electrostatic force on it from particles
    1 and 2 happens to be zero. If L23 = L12 , what is the ratio q1 /q2 ?

    4. [Halliday, Resnick and Walker, Chapter 21, pages 624 - 629, Problem 17]

    In Fig. a, particles 1 and 2 have charge 20.0 mC each and are held at separation distance
    d =1.50 m. (a) What is the magnitude of the electrostatic force on particle 1 due to particle
    2? In Fig. b, particle 3 of charge 20.0 mC is positioned so as to complete an equilateral
    triangle. (b) What is the magnitude of the net electrostatic force on particle 1 due to
    particles 2 and 3?

    5. Reading through sections 22-1 through 22-2.

    Define electric field. Find out the expression of electric field due to a point charge and
    show that the field strength is inversely proportional to square of the distance from the
    charge.

    6. Reading through section 22-3.

    Find out the expression of electric field due to an electric dipole hence show that the field
    strength is inversely proportional to the cube of the distance from the dipole.
