The figure below shows a small, hollow, rubber sphere hanging vertically from a thin, lightweight thread. The sphere has a mass of 6.50 g and a uniformly distributed charge of q, = 31.5 nC. Directly below it is a second sphere with the same mass, but a charge of q, = -58.0 nC. (Assume this second sphere is fixed in place.) The centers of the two rubber spheres are a distance d = 2.00 cm apart. 91 + 92 (a) What is the tension (in N) in the thread? N (b) The thread will break if the tension in it exceeds 0.180 N.

A small sphere of mass m = 6.60 g and charge q1 = 31.0 nC is attached to the end of a string and hangs vertically as in the figure. A second charge of equal mass and charge q2 = −58.0 nC is located below the first charge a distance d = 2.00 cm below the first charge as in the figure. A rope hangs vertically down from a ceiling with positive charge q1 at its end. Negative charge q2 is a distance d directly below q1. (a) Find the tension in the string. Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations.

Two identical point loads are aligned horizontally. The load on the right is attached to a support and the one on the left is attached to a rope attached to the ceiling at a point directly above the load on the right. The charges are 50 cm apart, and each charge has the following characteristics: m = 2 g and Q = 1 µC. Calculate the height h, in cm, between the loads and the ceiling if the system is at equilibrium. Use g = 9.81 m/s2 in your calculations.

A small, charged particle of mass 4.30 x 10-8g and charge +1.92 x 10-13C is sent toward a large fixed, flat sheet (0.50m x 0.50m) of metal that has a net charge of 1.33 x 10-6C. If the particle is moving with a speed of 18m/s when it is 8.00cm away from the sheet, does the particle strike the sheet? If so, what is the particle’s speed just before hitting the sheet? If the particle does not strike the sheet, what is its closest distance to the sheet?
Two metal spheres of identical mass m = 4.60 g are suspended by light strings 0.500 m in length. The left-hand sphere carries a charge of 0.765 µC, and the right-hand sphere carries a charge of 1.47 μC. What is the equilibrium separation between the centers of the two spheres? 0.6078 x Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four- digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error. m
A small metal bead, labeled A, has a charge of 26 nC . It is touched to metal bead B, initially neutral, so that the two beads share the 26 nC charge, but not necessarily equally. When the two beads are then placed 5.0 cm apart, the force between them is 5.0×10−4 N . Assume that A has a greater charge.What is the charge qA and qB on the beads?
Two small balls, each of mass 3.0 g, are attached to silk threads 30 cm long, which are in turn tied to the same point on the ceiling, as shown in the figure. When the balls are given the same charge Q, the threads hang at 0 = 3.0° to the vertical. What is the magnitude of Q?
Two identical spheres are attached to silk threads of length L=0.60 m and hung from a common point as shown in the figure. Each sphere has a mass m=7.0 g. One sphere is given a charge q1, and the other is given a different charge q2, this causes the spheres to separate so that when the spheres are in equilibrium, each thread makes an angle = 20 degrees with the vertical. A small wire is then connected to the spheres, allowing charge to be transferred from one sphere to the other until the two spheres have equal charges, the wire is then removed. Each thread now makes an angle = 30 degrees. Determine the original charge (in micro-coulomb) of q1.
