Electric Forces Intro Problem
What is the distance between two protons when they exert force on each other of 4.0 x 10 N?
Electric Forces Vectors Problem
Two small spheres, with charges 1.6 x 10-5 C and 6.4 x 105 C are situated 2.0 m apart. They have the
same sign. Where, relative to these two objects, should a third object be situated, of the opposite sign
and whose charge is 3.0 x 106 C, so that it experience no net electrical force? Do we really need to
know the charge or sign on the third charge? (0.67 m from the 1.6 x 10-5 C charge)

Electric Forces Proportionalities Problem
Two small, oppositely charged spheres have a force of electric attraction between them of 1.6 x 10-² N.
What does this force become if each sphere is touched with its identical, neutral mate, and then replaced
twice as far apart as before? The mates are taken far away.
Electrostatic Forces and Gravity Problem
Assume that a single, isolated electron is fixed at ground level. How far above it, vertically, would
another electron have to be, so that its mass would be supported by the force of electrostatic repulsion
between them?
