In the figure two tiny conducting balls of identical mass m and identical charge q hang from nonconducting threads of length L. Assume that is so small that tan 0 can be replaced by its approximate equal, sin 8. If L = 140 cm, m = 10 g, and x = 6.0 cm, what is the magnitude of q? L ᏀᎾ Ꮎ Number i L 9 0.0000009165 Units nC
Two otherwise identical conducting spheres carry charges of +4.80 µC and –1.00 µC. They are initially a distance L apart. The distance L is much larger than the radii of the spheres. The spheres were brought together, touched, and then returned to their original separation L. What is the ratio of the magnitude of the force on either sphere after they are touched to that before they were touched?
Two small balls, each of mass 3.0 g, are attached to silk threads 30 cm long, which are in turn tied to the same point on the ceiling, as shown in the figure. When the balls are given the same charge Q, the threads hang at 0 = 3.0° to the vertical. What is the magnitude of Q?
Two identical spheres are attached to silk threads of length L=0.60 m and hung from a common point as shown in the figure. Each sphere has a mass m=7.0 g. One sphere is given a charge q1, and the other is given a different charge q2, this causes the spheres to separate so that when the spheres are in equilibrium, each thread makes an angle = 20 degrees with the vertical. A small wire is then connected to the spheres, allowing charge to be transferred from one sphere to the other until the two spheres have equal charges, the wire is then removed. Each thread now makes an angle = 30 degrees. Determine the original charge (in micro-coulomb) of q1.
