There are two identical, positively charged conducting spheres fixed in space. The spheres are 43.0 cm apart (center to center) and repel each other with an electrostatic force of F = 0.0720 N. A thin conducting wire connects the spheres, redistributing the charge on each sphere. When the wire is removed, the spheres still repel, but with a force of F = 0.100 N. The Coulomb force constant is k = 1/(4x€o) = 8.99 × 10° N · m²/C² . Using this information, find the initial charge on each sphere, q, and q2, if q, is initially less than q2 . 91 = C 92 = C 10:07 AM 17°C ENC

Identical 42 μC charges are fixed on an x axis at x = ±3.4 m. A particle of charge q = –20 μC is then released from rest at a point on the positive part of the y axis. Due to the symmetry of the situation, the particle moves along the y axis and has kinetic energy 1.2 J as it passes through the point x = 0, y = 4.5 m. (a) What is the kinetic energy of the particle as it passes through the origin? (b) At what negative value of y will the particle momentarily stop?

Two point charges of mass m each are suspended in the gravitational field of the Earth by two non-conducting massless strings, each of length 1, attached to the same fixed point. The spheres are given equal charges Q of the same sign. As a result each string makes angle a to the vertical (see figure below). Write down an expression for the tension of a string T in terms of Coulomb force Fc between the charges and the angle a. Use the following notation (without the quotes): "/" for division, "*" for multiplication, "+" an "_" as usual. For powers used "^2", while for square root use "sqrt". To indicate that square root applies to the whole expression use brackets - for example, for √AB use sqrt(A*B). For Greek letters such as л, α etc. use pi, alpha. For example to get 14√AB use 1/pi*A^2/B*sqrt(AB). Please use the exact variables given in the conditions of the problem: e.g if L is given, then do not use 1. For subscripts such as Fc simply write "FC" (without the quotes). Please use…
Two hard rubber spheres, each of mass m = 16.3 g, are rubbed with fur on a dry day and are then suspended with two insulating strings of length L = 5.50 cm whose support points are a distance d = 3.21 cm from each other as shown in the figure below. During the rubbing process, one sphere receives exactly twice the charge of the other. They are observed to hang at equilibrium, each at an angle of ? = 10.9° with the vertical. Find the amount of charge on each sphere. (Assume the two spheres have charges q1 and q2 = 2q1)

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.
