A light, unstressed spring has length d. Two identical particles, each with charge q, are connected to the opposite ends of the spring. The particles are held stationary a distance d apart and then released at the same moment. The system then oscillates on a frictionless, horizontal table. The spring has a bit of internal kinetic friction, so the oscillation is damped. The particles eventually stop vibrating when the distance between them is 3d. Assume the system of the spring and two charged particles is isolated. Find the increase in internal energy that appears in the spring during the oscillations.
Three point particles, each with a mass m and a charge of +5.0 nC, are placed at the vertices of an equilateral trian- gle with side length l fixed in place, but the third experiences an acceleration of 8.0 cm. Two of the particles are 17.4 m/s? immediately after being released from rest. What is the mass m of each particle? (Suppose that the particles are located in outer space so that you can ignore the effects of gravity.)
A ▬ >E h d - As shown in the figure above, a positively charged ball is placed at point A and slides down the slope from rest. The area has a uniform electric field E = 12.9 N/C, pointing to the right. The mass of the ball is m = 9 kg and the charge is q = +2.6 C. When the ball reaches point B, it travels horizontally there after. The height from A to B is h = 37 m and the horizontal distance between A and B is d = 30 m.

tep 1: Two small identically charged conducting spheres 1 and 2 of equal mass are hung from a fixed support with non conducting threads of equal length as shown in the figure. Both the spheres have equal mass m1=m2=m and equal charge q1=q2=q. Assume that the charge of each sphere is q=44nC , the length of the thread is L=237cm and the horizontal separation is x=18cm. You must draw the figure properly in your pdf. The x and y directions are shown in the figure. You have the liberty to choose any point as the origin of your coordinate system. (Hint: You may find it convenient to choose q1 or q2 as the origin of your coordinate system.) step 2: Now, say we discharge sphere 2, without changing any other variables. Discharging means that the new charge of the sphere 2 is q′2=0. Explain what will happen in your script and answer the followings: c) What will be the new separation of the spheres after they reach equilibrium from step 2. Hint: Use small angle approximation. equilibrium…
Particle 1 has mass 8.67 kg and charge 6.51 C. Particle 2 has mass 9.05 kg and charge 9.76 C. If these particles are placed a distance 1.45 m from each other, what is the magnitude of the force that particle 1 exerts on particle 2? Answer in units of N.
Two small particles have charges Q₁ = +4.0 μC and Q₂ = -7.0 μC. The particles are conducting and are brought together so that they touch. Charge then moves between the two particles so as to make the excess charge on the two particles equal. If the particles are then separated by a distance of 5.4 mm, what is the magnitude of the electric force between them?
Two identical small spheres of mass 1.10 g each carry equal charge (sign and magnitude) and are placed 3.60 cm apart. When released, each sphere experiences an instantaneous acceleration of 419 m/s².
