A 148 mg plastic bead has a radius of 344 μm and is charged by the addition of 1.38×1010 excess electrons. You may assume that the excess electrons are spread uniformly throughout the bead. What electric field strength will cause the bead to hang suspended in the air?
The drawing shows two situations in which charges are placed on the x and y axes. They are all located at the same distance of 5.40 cm from the origin O. For each of the situations in the drawing, determine the magnitude of the net electric field at the origin.
An infinite line of positive charge lies along the y axis, with charge density A = 1.10 µC/m. A dipole is placed with its center along the x axis at x = 21.0 cm. The dipole consists of two charges ±10.0 µuC separated by 2.00 cm. The axis of the dipole makes an angle of 25.0° with the x axis, and the positive charge is farther from the line of charge than the negative charge. Find the net force exerted on the dipole.

Three identical metallic conducting spheres carry the following charges: q1 = +4.60 μC, q2 = +1.80 μC, and q3 = −1.60 μC. The spheres that carry the charges q1 and q2 are brought into contact. Then they are separated. After that, one of those two spheres is brought into contact with the third sphere that carries the charge q3; those two are then separated as well. How many excess (or deficiency) electrons make up the final charge on the third sphere?
