Two metallic spheres are placed 50 cm apart. Point P is 25 cm above the midpoint of the two spheres. A charge of +20 μC is initially applied to the surface of sphere A, while sphere B remains uncharged. A 50 cm B 25 cm 3. Calculate the electric field at point P due to sphere A. Mathematically, the charge distributed over the the surface of a sphere can be treated as if all the charge is concentrated at its center. Spheres A and B are brought into contact for a few moments and then placed in their original positions. 4. Determine the number of electrons that were transferred from sphere B onto sphere A. 5. Calculate the new electric field at point P due to both spheres.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

The charge on the spheres, q=20 μC=20×10-6 C

The distance between the spheres d=50 cm=0.50 m

The distance of point P from the center of the joining line of the spheres, x=25 cm=0.25 m 

Find out:

(3) The electric field on point P due to sphere A.

(5) Electric field on point P due to both spheres.
