There are two identical, positively charged conducting spheres fixed in space. The spheres are 45.4 cm apart (center to center) and repel each other with an electrostatic force of F = 0.0645 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 F2 = 0.115 N. The Coulomb force constant is k = 1/(4re0) = 8.99 × 10° N · m²/C². Using this information, find the initial charge on each sphere, q1 and q2, if q is initially less than q2 . 91 = 92 =

Two hard rubber spheres, each of mass m = 14.9 g, are rubbed with fur on a dry day and are then suspended with two insulating strings of length L = 5.25 cm whose support points are a distance d = 3.06 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 0 = 10.4° with the vertical.

During surgery, anesthesiolgists uses a mass spectrometer to monitor the respiratory gases of a patient. A gas often monitored is Isoflurane (molar mass = 3.06 ×10-25 kg). A singly ionized molecules of isoflurane has a charge if +e and moves at a speed of 7.5×103 m/s. If the path in which it travels is considered circular with a radius of 0.10 m then: Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic field that the spectrometer uses. If, and in a hypothetical case, a secondary reaction occurs creating a second particle which is negatively charged, twice the mass of the isoflurane and travels at 1.8 ×103 m/s. What is the radius of its circular path? Draw how the paths of these two molecules are affected under the influence of the magnetic force.

Two identical point loads are aligned horizontally. The load on the right is attached to a support and the one on the left is attached to a rope attached to the ceiling at a point directly above the load on the right. The charges are 50 cm apart, and each charge has the following characteristics: m = 2 g and Q = 1 µC. Calculate the height h, in cm, between the loads and the ceiling if the system is at equilibrium. Use g = 9.81 m/s2 in your calculations.

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…
