Three charges are placed on a horizontal line. Charges q1 = +7 nC and q2 = -3 nC are fixed in place, with q2 2.0 m to the right of q1. Charge q3=+5 nC is in equilibrium but free to slide on the line (but not off of it.) a. Find the distance between q3 and q1 and whether q3 is to the right or left of q1. b. If q3 can move along the line away from its initial location, is the equilibrium stable or unstable? How did you decide? c. If q3 were were on a vertical line instead, so it could move up and down but not horizontally, would the equilibrium be stable or unstable for that motion? How did you decide? m

3. A 7.17 nC charge is located 1.66 m from a 4.42 nC point charge. a. What is the magnitude of the electrostatic force that the 7.17 nC charge exerts on the 4.42 nC charge? b. What is the magnitude of the electrostatic force that the 4.42 nC charge exerts on the 7.17 nC charge? C. Are these forces attractive or repulsive?
A sphere with a radius of 1.5cm hangs by an insulating thread. The sphere is attracted to a positively charged rod held near the sphere. a) If the ball is made of an insulating material, what can you say about the charge on the sphere? Be specific and explain your answer. b) If the ball is made of an conducting material, what can you say about the charge on the sphere? Be specific and explain your answer.
You have a negatively charged object.a) How can you use it to put negative charge on an isolated metallic sphere? b) And to put a positive charge on the sphere?
1. Three charges form an equilateral triangle of side length d. The top charge is 93Q and is located on the y-axis, while the bottom two are q₁ = 92 = 4Q and are located on the x-axis. What is the net force acting on q3? -4kQ2 d² (2) -4kQ2 j -AkQ² (3) (4) -8kQ² +√√3kQ² (5) d2 d² 3d² d²
Two charges, one of q and the other of -q are separated by a distance of 2d. a. Find the force on the positive charge. b. Now, a neutral metal sphere of radius R (where R< d) is placed midway between the two charges. Calculate the additional force this produces on the positive charge. c. For R almost as large as d (i.e. R→d -ɛ for small & ), that the largest term in the correction looks like the force from a plane conductor.
b) Calculate the net force (magnitude and direction) exerted on charge q by the other four charges, in terms of q, Q, d, and e0. You may draw the force vector to indicate the direction. c) If the charge q is released from rest, and the four other charges held fixed, will the charge q ever “escape” to infinitely far away (assuming an infinite amount of time can pass)? Justify your answer.
Four electrically charged spheres are located on the corners of a square whose sides measures 4.2 cm.
