A small metal sphere, carrying a net charge of q1 = -2.60 µC, is held in a stationary position by insulating supports. A second small metal sphere, with a net charge of q2 = -7.20 µC and mass 1.90 g, is projected toward q1. When the two spheres are 0.800 m apart, q2 is moving toward q1 with speed 22.0 m/s (Figure 1). Assume that the two spheres can be treated as point charges. You can ignore the force of gravity.

Two identical conducting spheres, fixed in place, attract each other with an electrostatic force of 0.118 N when their center-to-center separation is 61.5 cm. The spheres are then connected by a thin conducting wire. When the wire is removed, the spheres repel each other with an electrostatic force of 0.0444 N. Of the initial charges on the spheres, with a positive net charge, what was (a) the negative charge on one of them and (b) the positive charge on the other? (Assume the negative charge has smaller magnitude.)
Two particles are in a uniform electric field whose value is +2500 N/C. The mass and charge of particle 1 are m₁ = 1.61 × 10-5 kg and 91=-5.61 C, while the corresponding values for particle 2 are m2 = 2.14 × 105 kg and q2=+16.5 μC. Initially the particles are at rest. The particles are both located on the same electric field line but are separated from each other by a distance d. When released, they accelerate, but always remain at this same distance from each other. Find d. Number Units

tep 1: Two small identically charged conducting spheres 1 and 2 of equal mass are hung from a fixed support with non conducting threads of equal length as shown in the figure. Both the spheres have equal mass m1=m2=m and equal charge q1=q2=q. Assume that the charge of each sphere is q=44nC , the length of the thread is L=237cm and the horizontal separation is x=18cm. You must draw the figure properly in your pdf. The x and y directions are shown in the figure. You have the liberty to choose any point as the origin of your coordinate system. (Hint: You may find it convenient to choose q1 or q2 as the origin of your coordinate system.) step 2: Now, say we discharge sphere 2, without changing any other variables. Discharging means that the new charge of the sphere 2 is q′2=0. Explain what will happen in your script and answer the followings: c) What will be the new separation of the spheres after they reach equilibrium from step 2. Hint: Use small angle approximation. equilibrium…
