I have a good few past exam papers to practice but they don't come with solutions so I don't know if I'm answering them correctly or not. If anyone has the time can you tell me if I'm on the right path or not with these physics questions.
Note: To keep it short I'll write the scientific notation as Eexponent i.e. 5x10^7 = 5E7

Q1.)
a.) Define the electric field E of a point charge Q.
b.) Calculate the electric field of a point charge of -2.3E-6C at a distance 5.2E-6m from the charge and show the direction of the field.
c.) Calculate the force on an electron due to that of a proton which is separated from the proton by a distance of 1.5E-10m and show the direction of the force.
A1.)
a.) A spherical field of electrical force of varying magnitude force which decreases in magnitude with distance from the charge.

across it. The same conductor carries a current of 0.10 A with a potential
difference of 0.50 V across it. State, with calculated justification, if the
conductor is ohmic or non-ohmic.

dissipated in the circuit.
A3.)
a.) The ability of a material to resist electric current.

Q4.) 2 capacitors of capacitance values 2.4uF and 1.2uF are connected in series.
a.) Show by calculation that the effective capacitance is 0.80uF.
b.) If this arrangement is connected to a 12 V battery calculate the charge drawn from the battery. Hence calculate the voltage across each of the capacitors.
c.) Calculate the energy stored in each of the capacitors.
A4.)
a.)
1/C = 1/C1 + 1/C2 =>

Q6.) You are given a circular loop of wire and a permanent magnet.
a.) Describe two ways in which you can induce a current in the loop using only the magnet.
