A particle with charge -3.00 nC is at the origin, and a particle with negative charge of magnitude Q is at x = 50.0 cm. A third particle with a positive charge is in equilibrium at x = 20.9 cm. What is Q?
I need help with this question. Thank you!
The gecko is sticking upside down to a smooth ceiling. The remarkable adhesion might be due to static electricity. Gecko feet are covered with microscopic hairs. When these hairs rub against a surface, charges separate, with the hair developing a positive charge and negative charge forming below the surface. There is an attractive force between the separated charges. This is an effective means of adhering to a surface, but it comes at a cost: Two planes of charge are like two charged plates of a capacitor, which takes energy to charge. Doubling the amount of charge on each surface increases the attractive force, but also increases the energy required to separate the charge. Part A By what factor does this energy increase?

Two identical metal blocks resting on a smooth horizontal surface are connected by a lightweight spring having a spring constant k = 0.2 N/m, as shown in the figure. The length of the spring before it is stretched is L0 = 10 cm. A total charge Q is carefully applied to the block, which is assumed to be a point charge. Because the blocks are given an electric charge, the spring is stretched so that its length becomes L = 10.2 cm. Find Q!
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.

The figure below shows two identical small, charged spheres. One of mass 4.3 g is hanging by an insulating thread of length 20.0 cm. The other is held in place and has charge q₁ = -3 -3.1 μC. The thread makes an angle of 18° with the vertical, resulting in the spheres being aligned horizontally, a distance r apart. Determine the charge 92 on the hanging sphere. nC 20.0 cm 18⁰ 91 92 ✈
Two identical conducting spheres, fixed in place, attract each other with an electrostatic force of 0.140 N when their center-to-center separation is 63.8 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 0.0403 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.)
