1. Evaluate the cross product of vectors A = 3i + 2j + k and B = 2i - j + 4k. 2
9i - 10j - 7k
2. How can Stoke's theorem be applied to calculate the circulation of a vector field? 2
By applying Stokes' theorem, you can evaluate the circulation by calculating the
surface integral of the curl of the vector field over a surface bounded by the closed
curve,
3. Determine the angle between two vectors A = (2, -3, 5) and B = (-1, 2, 4). 2
64.8
4. Find the projection of vector A = (4, -2) onto vector B = (1, 3). 2
projection of vector A onto vector B is -√10 / 5 (approximately -0.632)
5. What is the mathematical expression of the Divergence Theorem? 2

6. Define Coulomb's law. 2

Coulomb's law states that the electrostatic force between two point charges is
directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to
the square of the distance between them. Mathematically, it is expressed as F = k *
(q1 * q2) / r^2, where F is the electrostatic force, q1 and q2 are the charges, r is the
distance between them, and k is the electrostatic constant
7. Two point charges, +2 μC and -4 μC, are placed 5 meters apart. Calculate the 2
electric field intensity at a point located 3 meters from the +2 μC charge.

8. Develop Poisson’s equations and Laplace equations. 2
∇²φ = -ρ/ε₀ ∇²φ = 0
9. A charge of 5 μC is placed at a point in an electric field. If the potential at that point 2
is 10 V, calculate the distance of the point from the charge.
r=4.495×10 3 m
10. Explain the concept of potential gradient in terms of electric potential. 2
The potential gradient (electric field) relates to the work done on a charged particle
when it moves from one point to another against the electric field but potential is
work done on a charged particle when it moves from infinity to another against the
electric field as it moves through an electric field.
