5. What is the potential energy of two equal negative point charges 2μC each held 1m apart in air?
6. In a certain 0.1m3 of space, electric potential is found to be 5V throughout. What is the electric field in this region?
7. Two spheres of silver of same radii, one solid and other hollow are charged to the same potential. Which one has greater charge?
8. Where does the energy of the capacitor reside?
9. Why does the electric field inside a dielectric decrease when it is placed in an external electric field?
10. A parallel plate capacitor has a capacity of 6μF in air and 60μF when dielectric medium is introduced. What is the dielectric constant of the medium?
