A charge of 36.3 nC is transferred to a neutral copper ball of radius 4.35 cm. The ball is not grounded. The excess electrons spread uniformly on the surface of the ball. What is the number density (number of electrons per unit surface area) of excess electrons on the surface of the ball?
A common demonstration involves charging a rubber balloon, which is an insulator, by rubbing it on your hair and then touching the balloon to a ceiling or wall, which is also an insulator. Because of the electrical attraction between the charged balloon and the neutral wall, the balloon slicks to the wall. Imagine now that we have two infinitely large, Hat sheets of insulating material. One is charged, and the other is neutral, lf these sheets are brought into contact, does an attractive force exist between them as there was for the balloon and the wall?
(i) A metallic sphere A of radius 1.00 cm is several centimeters away from a metallic spherical shell B of radius 2.00 cm. Charge 450 nC is placed on A, with no charge on B or anywhere nearby.

(a) 0 on A. 450 nC on B (b) 90.0 nC on A and 360 nC on B, with equal surface charge densities (c) 150 nC on A and 300 nC on B (d) 225 nC on A and 225 nC on B (e) 450 nC on A and 0 on B (ii) A metallic sphere A of radius 1 cm with charge 450 nC hangs on an insulating thread inside an uncharged thin metallic spherical shell B of radius 2 cm.

Assume the charged objects in Figure OQ23.10 are fixed. Notice that there is no sight line from the location of q2 to the location of q1.

(a) Find only the force exerted by q2 on charge q1. (b) Find only the force exerted by q3 an charge q1. (c) Add the force that q2 would exert by itself on charge q1 to the force that q3 would exert by itself on charge q1. (d) Add the force that q3 would exert by itself to a certain fraction of the force that q2 would exert by itself. (e) There is no definite way to find the force on charge q1.
