(a) Define the following terms:

(i) Electric field intensity

(ii) Electric potential

(b) The diagram below illustrates two collinear electric charges of magnitudes + Q and -Q. The charges are equidistant from a point P at which a rest charge is placed.

Copy the diagram and use arrows to indicate, from the point P, the direction of the;

(i) electric force F\(_1\) due to + Q.

(ii) electric force F\(_2\) due to -Q.

(iii) electric field intensity E.

 

(c) What is meant by dielectric substance?

(ii) List the factors which determine the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor and state the effect each of them has on the capacitance.The diagram above represents a section of a circuit. Calculate the effective capacitance in the section.

(iii)

The diagram above represents a section of a circuit. Calculate the effective capacitance in the section.
