Four equal charges, q, are fixed at the corners of a square of side a in the xy-plane centered on the origin. A bead of mass m and charge -q is positioned at the origin. A thin, frictionless string along the z-axis threads the bead, thus restricting its mo- tion to the z-axis. The bead is then displaced from the origin by a small amount Zo < 0 and released from rest. Show that the bead undergoes simple harmonic motion (to a very good approximation), and derive an expression for its period of oscillation in terms of known parameters.
Suppose you design an apparatus in which a uniformly charged disk of radius R is to produce an electric field. The field magnitude is most important along the central perpendicular axis of the disk, at a point P at distance 2.60R from the disk (see Figure (a)). Cost analysis suggests that you switch to a ring of the same outer radius R but with inner radius R/2.60 (see Figure (b)). Assume that the ring will have the same surface charge density as the original disk. If you switch to the ring, by what part will you decrease the electric field magnitude at P?

In the figure a smallI, nonconducting ball of mass m = 0.92 mg and charge q = 2.0 x 108 C (distributed uniformly through its volume) hangs from an insulating thread that makes an angle 0 = 39° with a vertical, uniformly charged nonconducting sheet (shown in cross section). Considering the gravitational force on the ball and assuming the sheet extends far vertically and into and out of the page, calculate the surface charge density o of the sheet. n, 4 ++++ + + tE + +
