Two metal spheres, each of radius 3.4 cm, have a center-to-center separation of 2.5 m. Sphere 1 has a charge of +1.2 × 10-8 C; sphere 2 has a charge of -3.2 × 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 19.3 g mass is suspended 1.39 cm above a nonconducting flat plate, directly above an embedded charge of q. If the mass has the same charge q, how much must q be so that the mass levitates (just floats, neither rising nor falling)? If the charge q is produced by adding electrons to the mass, by how much will the mass be changed?
