6. Shown below is a small sphere of mass 0.25 g that carries charge of 0.90 nC. The sphere is attached to one end of a very thin silk string 5.0 cm long. The other end of the string is attached to a large, thin, vertical conducting plate with surface charge density of 30.0 µC/m². When another thin vertical large plate with uniformly distributed negative charge is brought close to the small sphere (but not touching), 0 increases for additional 5.00°.
