Q.1:
(i) Consider an isolated soap bubble having radius 1 cm is held at a potential of 100 V. If it
collapses and reduces to a drop of 1 mm. Calculate the change of its electrostatic potential
energy.
(ii) Two charges +q and -q at points (x, y, z)= (a, 0, a) and (-a, 0, a) above a conducting plane
at z = 0. Find
(a) Total force on charge +q
(b) The work done against the electrostatic force in assembling this system of charges
(c) Surface charge density at the point (a, 0, 0).
