Two otherwise identical conducting spheres carry charges of +4.80 µC and –1.00 µC. They are initially a distance L apart. The distance L is much larger than the radii of the spheres. The spheres were brought together, touched, and then returned to their original separation L. What is the ratio of the magnitude of the force on either sphere after they are touched to that before they were touched?
A negative point charge of 1.5 nC and a positive point charge of 4 nC are placed 10 cm apart. Calculate the magnitude of the force (in µN) acting on one of these charges. (Take the value of Coulomb's law constant to be 9 x 109 N m2/C2)
A 1.0C charge and a 2.0C charge are separated by 100m. Where should a charge -(1.0x10^-3) C° be located on a line between the positive charges so that the net electrical force on the negative charge is zero?
Two charges are located on the x axis: q₁ = +5.6 μC at x₁ = +4.9 cm, and q2 = +5.6 μC at x2 = -4.9 cm.

We assemble a group of three charges, each of + 2.0 µC, bringing them in from infinite distance, where we set V = 0. We put the first charge at x = 0 cm, then put the second one at x = 10 cm, and last put the third one at x = 20 cm. What was the total work done by the applied force? (Hint: At each step, W_applied = + Delta(PE) = + q Delta(V), where q is the charge you're bringing in now and V is determined by the charges that are already in place.)
