Question 11 Mark
NaCl molecule is bound due to the electric force between the sodium and the chlorine ions when one electron. of sodium is transferred to chlorine. Taking the separation between the ions to be 2.75 × 10cm, find the force of attraction between them· State the assumptions (if any) that you have made.
Answer
$\text{F}=\frac{\text{kq}_1\text{q}_2}{\text{r}^2}$
$=\frac{9\times10^9\times1.6\times1.6\times10^{-19}\times10^{-19}}{(2.75\times10^{-10})^2}$
$=\frac{23.04\times10^{-29}}{7.56\times10^{-20}}$
$=3.04\times10^{-9}$

Question 21 Mark
$\text { A sample of } \mathrm{HCl} \text { gas is placed in an electric field of } 2.5 \times 10^4 \mathrm{NC}^{-1} \text {. The dipole moment of each } \mathrm{HCl} \text { molecule is } 3.4 \times 10^{-30} \mathrm{Cm} \text {. }$ Find the maximum torque that can act on a molecule.
Answer
$\text{E}=2.5\times104$
$\text{P}=3.4\times10^{-30}$
$ \text{T}=\text{PE}\sin\theta$
$=\text{P}\times\text{E}\times1$
$=3.4\times10^{-30}\times2.5\times10^4$
$=8.5\times10^{-26}\text{Nm}$

Question 31 Mark
Two charged particles are placed at a distance 1.0cm apart. What is the minimum possible magnitude of the electric force acting on each charge?
Answer
Minimum charge of a body is the charge of an electron,
$\Rightarrow\text{q}=1.6\times10^{-19}\text{C}$
Given,
Separation between the charges, $r = 1cm = 10^{-2}cm$
By Coulomb's Law, force,
$\text{F}=\frac{1}{4\pi\in_0}\frac{\text{q}_1\text{q}_2}{\text{r}^2}$
$=\frac{9\times10^9\times1.6\times1.6\times10^{-19}\times10^{-19}}{10^{-2}\times10^{-2}}$
$=23.04\times10^{-38+9+2+2}$
$=23.04\times10^{-25}$
$=2.3\times10^{-24}$

Question 41 Mark
Find the dimensional formula of $\in_0.$
Answer
By Coulomb's Law,
$\text{F}=\frac{1}{4\pi\in_0}\frac{\text{q}_1\text{q}_2}{\text{r}^2}$
$\Rightarrow\in_0=\frac{1}{4\pi\text{F}}\frac{\text{q}_1\text{q}_2}{\text{r}^2}$
Using $[\text{F}]=\big[\text{MLT}^{-2}\big]$
$[\text{r}]=\big[\text{M}^0\text{L}^1\text{T}^0\big]$
$[\text{q}]=\big[\text{M}^2\text{L}^0\text{T}^1\text{A}^1\big],$ we get
$[\in_0]=\big[\text{M}^{-1}\text{L}^{-3}\text{T}^4\text{A}^2\big]$

Question 51 Mark
Two charged particles having charge $2.0 × 10^{-8}\ C$ each are joined by an insulating string of length 1m and the system is kept on a smooth horizontal table. Find the tension in the string.
Answer

Force exerted $=\frac{\text{kq}_1^2}{\text{r}^2}$
$=\frac{9\times10^9\times2\times2\times10^{-16}}{1^2}$
$=3.6\times10^{-6}$ Is the force exerted on the string.
