3. How many electron are present in one coulomb ?
4. Does coulomb’s law of electric force obey Newton’s third law?
5. What is central force , Is electric force between two charges a central force ?
6. Define dielectric constant for a medium in terms of force between electric charges ?
7. When you run comb through dry hair, it attracts bits of paper. Why? What would you
