(a) Explain what is meant by: (i) electric field intensity ; (ii) electric lines of force.

(b) Two similar but opposite point charges -q and +q each of magnitude \(5 \times 10^{-8} C\) are seperated by a distance of 8.0cm in vacuum as shown in the diagram below.

Calculate the magnitude and direction of the resultant electric field intensity E at the point P. Draw the lines of force due to this system of charges. [Take \(\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon _{0}}\)]

(c)  

Calculate the following in the series circuit shown above: (i) reactance of the capacitor ; (ii) impedance of the circuit ; (iii)  current through the circuit ; (iv) voltage across the capacitor ; (v) average power used in the circuit.
