A hollow conductor is positively charged. A small uncharged metal ball is lowered by a silk thread through a small opening in the top of the conductor and allowed to touch its inner surface. After the ball is removed, it will have: O a charge whose sign depends on what part of the inner surface it touched no appreciable charge a positive charge O a negative charge

Two metal spheres, each of radius 3.1 cm, have a center-to-center separation of 1.5 m. Sphere 1 has a charge of +1.3 × 10-8 C; sphere 2 has a charge of -2.7 x 10-8 C. Assume that the separation is large enough for us to assume that the charge on each sphere is uniformly distributed (the spheres do not affect each other). With V= 0 at infinity, calculate in volts (a) the potential at the point halfway between their centers and the potential on the surface of (b) sphere 1 and (c) sphere 2.

A factory is spray-painting large sheets of metal electrostatically. The sheets have dimensions of 2.4 m by 2.4 m and are charged with 0.82 mC. A 10 kg drum of paint is charged with -89 μCμC, and the spray nozzle produces uniform droplets of 2.4 g. Assume that all charge is distributed uniformly on the sheet and in the paint and no charge is lost during the spraying process. Determine the magnitude of acceleration the paint droplets feel due to the metal sheet. Give your answer in units of ms2ms2.
