Four equal positive charges are fixed at the vertices of a square of side $L$. The $Z$-axis is perpendicular to the plane of the square. The point $z = 0$ is the point where the diagonals of the square intersect. Find the plot of the electric field $E$ due to the four charges as one moves along the $Z$-axis.

In free space,a particle $A$ of charge $1\,\mu C$ is held fixed at a point $P.$ Another particle $B$ of the same charge and mass $4\,\mu g$ is kept at a distance of $1\,mm$ from $P$. If $B$ is released,then its velocity at a distance of $9\,mm$ from $P$ is [ Take $\frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9\,N m^2 C^{-2}$ ]

How much work is done in moving a charge $+q$ once around a circle of radius $r$ in the presence of a central charge $+Q$?

Consider a gravity-free container as shown. The system is initially at rest and the electric potential in the region is $V = (y^3 + 2) \text{ J/C}$. A ball of charge $q = -0.5 \text{ C}$ and mass $m = 2 \text{ kg}$ is released from rest from the base $(y=0)$. It starts to move up due to the electric field and collides with the shaded top face $(y=2 \text{ m})$ as shown. If its speed just after the collision is $1.5 \text{ m/s}$ and the time for which the ball is in contact with the shaded face is $0.1 \text{ s}$, find the external force required to hold the container fixed in its position during the collision, assuming the ball exerts a constant force on the wall during the entire span of the collision.
