What are some commonly known facts about magnetism?

Answer

Some commonly known facts about magnetism:

Every regardless of its size and shape has two poles called north pole and
Isolated magnetic monopoles do not exist. If a magnet is broken into two or more pieces then each piece behaves like an independent magnet with some what weaker magnetic field.
Like magnetic poles repel each other, whereas unlike poles attract each other.
When a bar magnet/ magnetic needle is suspended freely or is pivoted, it aligns itself in geographically north-south direction.

Explain Coulomb’s law in vector form.

Two small spheres $18\ cm$ apart have equal negative charges and repel each other with the force of $6 \times 10^{-8} N$. Find the total charge on both spheres.

A book with many printing errors contains four different formulae for the displacement $y$ of a particle undergoing a certain periodic function:
$i) \ y = a \sin \frac{2 \pi t}{T}$
$ii) \ y=a \sin v t$
$iii) \ y=\frac{a}{T} \sin \frac{t}{a}$
$iv) \ y =\frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}\left[\sin \frac{2 \pi t}{T}+\cos \frac{2 \pi t}{T}\right]$
Here, $a$ is maximum displacement of particle, $y$ is speed of particle, $T$ is time period of motion. Rule out the wrong formulae on dimensional grounds.
