A positively charged rod is brought near a neutral conducting metal sphere. Someone then touches the sphere for a few moments, then releases it. The rod is then pulled away from the sphere. What has happened to the charge and mass of the sphere?
Let's say two unknown charges are given to you. You do not know their individual charges, but you know that their total charge is 8.00µC. You made a test in the laboratory and found that these two charges push each other away with a force of 0.150 N when separated by 0.500 m. What is the charge of the "higher charge" in units of µC ?
Measuring the Charge. You and your team are designing an experiment where two spherical insulating beads of diameter 0.45 cm and mass 0.15 g are strung together on a fine thread that passes through microscopic holes drilled through their centers. When hung vertically, the lower bead rests on a knot at the bottom of the thread and the upper bead rests upon the lower bead. When placed inside a vacuum chamber and exposed to X-rays (highly energetic electromagnetic radiation), the beads acquire equal, uniform distributions of positive charge on their surfaces due to the loss of electrons ejected when struck by the X-rays. During this experiment, the beads are hung vertically, and a gap forms between them as if the top bead were levitating above the lower one, presumably due to the repulsive electrostatic force between them. The gap, that is, the vertical separation between the top of the lower bead and the bottom of the upper bead, is 0.27 cm. (a) How much excess charge is on each bead?…
