Figure represents a crystal unit of cesium chloride, CsCl. The cesium atoms, represented by open circles are situated at the corners of a cube of side 0.40 nm, whereas a Cl atom is situated at the centre of the cube.
The Cs atoms are deficient in one electron while the Cl atom carries an excess electron.
- What is the net electric field on the Cl atom due to eight Cs atoms?
- Suppose that the Cs atom at the corner A is missing. What is the net force now on the Cl atom due to seven remaining Cs atoms?
उत्तर
- Zero, from symmetry.
- Removing a +ve Cs ion is equivalent to adding singly charged –ve Cs ion at that location.
Net force then is F = `e^2/(4pi ε_0 r^2)`
Where r = distance between the Cl ion and a Cs ion.
= `sqrt((0.20)^2 + (0.20)^2 + (0.20)^2) xx 10^-9` m
= `sqrt(3(0.20)^2) xx 10^-9` m
= 0.346 × 10–9 m
Hence, F = `((8.99 xx 10^9)(1.6 xx 10^-19)^2)/(0.346 xx 10^-9)^2` = 192 × 10–11
= 1.92 × 10–9 N, directed from A to Cl–

Explain the meaning of the statement ‘electric charge of a body is quantised’.
Why can one ignore quantisation of electric charge when dealing with macroscopic i.e., large scale charges?
When a glass rod is rubbed with a silk cloth, charges appear on both. A similar phenomenon is observed with many other pairs of bodies. Explain how this observation is consistent with the law of conservation of charge.
It is now believed that protons and neutrons (which constitute nuclei of ordinary matter) are themselves built out of more elementary units called quarks. A proton and a neutron consist of three quarks each. Two types of quarks, the so called ‘up’ quark (denoted by u) of charge (+2/3) e, and the ‘down’ quark (denoted by d) of charge (−1/3) e, together with electrons build up ordinary matter. (Quarks of other types have also been found which give rise to different unusual varieties of matter.) Suggest a possible quark composition of a proton and neutron.
