Electric Charges and Fields

One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.

There are two point charges q1=(7.000x10^0) µC and q2=(-3.0000x10^0) µC. q1 is located at origin (0, 0). q2 is located at (4.00x10^0) m,(5.000x10^0) m). Now we place another point charge q3 = (1.0000x10^1) µC at ((4.00x10^0) m, 0), i.e. q3 is right underneath of q2. Please calculated the X-component of the electrostatic force on q3 . Give your answer in the unit of N with 3 sf. Note: Use the sign to represent the direction, for example -2.11x10^-4 means the force is on the negative x direction.
Ra1 +9 -9 Rea Consider two concentric spherical conductors, separated by an isolating material with (absolute) permittivity e. The two conductors have radius R1 and R2, they are put on a potential V and V2, which leads to a charge +q and –q sitting on them, respectively. By the problem's spherical symmetry, we see that the charge on each conductor is distributed uniformly, and that, in spherical coordinates, the electric field between the two conductors is of the form E(r) = -E(r) er. Determine the capacity C using the following steps: 1. Use Gauss's Law in integral form, with N a ball of radius r (R2 < r < R1), to find an expression for E(r) in terms of q. 2. Calculate AV = Vị – V2 using the formula - E•dr Δν and with C the black line segment indicated on the drawing (parallel with e,). 3. The capacity now follows from C = q/AV.
