If conductor P, with a positive charge, is placed in contact with another conductor Q (initially uncharged). After contact what will be the nature of the charge on Q? and on P? How do you know this will happen?
Most workers in nanotechnology are actively monitored for excess static charge buildup. The human body acts like an insulator as one walks across a carpet, collecting -50 nC per step. What charge buildup will a worker in a manufacturing plant accumulate if she walks 31 steps? charge buildup from 31 steps: How many electrons are present in that amount of charge? electrons present: nC maximum number of steps: electrons If a delicate manufacturing process can be damaged by an electrical discharge greater than 1012 electrons, what is the maximum number of complete steps that any worker should be allowed to take before touching the components? steps
A 5 g dust particle has a charge of 7 ?C and is suspended between two oppositely charged parallel plates as shown below. The distance between the particle & the edges of the plates is much greater than the distance between the plates. Each plate has the same constant uniform charge density. (note: Top plate is negative and bottom is positive) Find the voltage between the plates. V=
(HW 1: Ch 20 Problem 20.15 A small metal bead, labeled A, has a charge of 28 nC. It is touched to metal bead B, initially neutral, so that the two beads share the 28 nC charge, but not necessarily equally. When the two beads are then placed 5.0 cm apart, the force between them is 4.8x10-4 N. Assume that A has a greater charge. Part A What is the charge qA and qв on the beads?

Other than their charges, two conducting spheres are identical. These spheres initially have charges of —2 C and 8 C. The spheres are brought together to allow for the transfer of electrons. What is the identical charge on each of the spheres after they are separated?
Suppose a van e Graff generator builds a negative static charge and grounded conductor is placed near enough to it so that a 7.0 x 10^6 coulombs of negative charge arcs to the conductor. Can you help me to conceptualize the steps in calculating the number of electrons that are transferred?
A rubber rod is rubbed with a piece of fur and, as a result, the rubber rod has a negative charge. What happened? O Protons were removed from the rod. O The fur became negatively charged. O Electrons were added to the rod. O The fur was left neutral.
Two conducting metal spheres are shown below: +2.0 x 10-6 C +1.0 x 10-6 C A The spheres are identical in volume and mass, but the have different charges as shown. Suppose they are connected to each other by a copper wire. What then would be the charge on sphere A? What would be the charge on sphere B?

Consider an object of mass 41.8 kg. Now imagine taking all the protons out of the object and stuffing them into a box. Also take all the electrons out of the object and stuff them in a second box. How much charge is contained in the box with all the protons? 8.00E+09 C 1.00E+09 C 2.00E+09 C 4.00E+09 C
You have four identical conducting spheres: A, B, C, and D. Sphere A starts with no net charge. The spheres B and C start with -1.00 C. Sphere D starts with 3.00 C. In the following events, if the spheres are not explicitly touching, you may assume they are held far away. First, A and B touch and are separated. Second, A and D touch and are separated. Third, D and C touch and are separated. What are the final charges on A-D? You may use an answer from the Answer Bank more than once.
