A solid non-conducting sphere of radius 3 cm has a charge of +24 micro(u)C. A conducting spherical shell of inner radius 6 cm and outer radius 10 cm is concentric with the solid non-conducting sphere and carries a charge of -10 micro C. What is the force on an electron located midway in the space between the shell and the solid sphere?
A very thin glass rod 4 m long is rubbed all over with a silk cloth (see figure below). It gains a uniformly distributed charge +4.2 x 10-6 C. Two small spherical rubber balloons of radius 1.2 cm are rubbed all over with wool. They each gain a uniformly distributed charge of -6.7 x 10-8 C. The balloons are near the midpoint of the glass rod, with their centers 3 cm from the rod. The balloons are 2 cm apart (4.4 cm between centers). Length 4 m (drawing not to scale) 2 cm --- 3 cm Radius 1.2 cm 0.6 cm Part 1 (a) Find the magnitude of the electric field at the location marked by the x, 0.6 cm to the right of the center of the left balloon. i N/C Also calculate the angle the electric field makes with the horizontal. (Take the horizontal to be the +x axis pointing to the right.) i counterclockwise from the +x axis.
Charge Q1 = 25.91 mC is placed R = 34.65 cm to the left of charge Q2 = 82.23 mC, as shown in the figure. Both charges are held stationary. Point A is located R3 = 10.40 cm to the right of Q1. R, A particle with a charge of q = -4.551 µC and a mass of A 34.81 g is placed at rest at a distance R2 = 31.19 cm above Q2. If the particle were to be released from rest, calculating -R,一 its exact path would be a challenging problem. However, it is -R- possible to make some definite predictions about the future motion of the particle If the path of the particle were to pass through point A, what would be its speed VA at that point? VA = m/s
Four point charges, two positive charges on the x-axis and two negative charges on the y-axis, are located at a distance a = 6.5 cm from the origin on either side of it. The charge of each of them is q = 6 μC or -6 μC Another positive point charge, with charge Q = 109 μC, is located at point P on the positive x-axis a distance b = 0.65 m to the right of the rightmost positive charge. Refer to the figure. Part (a) Enter an expression for the x-component of the force on the point charge, in terms of defined quantities and the Coulomb constant k, at P due to the negative charges. Part (b) Enter an expression for the x-component of the force on the point charge at P due to the nearest positive charge, in terms of defined quantities and the Coulomb constant k. Part (c) Enter an expression for the x-component of the force on the point charge at P due to the farthest positive charge, in terms of defined quantities and the Coulomb constant k. Part (d) Calculate the x-component of the…
A 0.01294 kg ball with a positive charge of 47.4 μC hangs from a light string right next to a large vertical metal plate (the metal plate is so large compared to the length of the string and ball consider it to be infinite in size). How much surface charge density must the plate have to repel the ball so that the string makes and angle of 5.03 degrees from the vertical. Give your answer to 3 significant figures and in units of nC/m/m (nanoCoulombs per meter squared: Blackboard has trouble with squred units). Type in the units right after your numerical answer.
