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 metal spheres, each of radius 3.4 cm, have a center-to-center separation of 2.5 m. Sphere 1 has a charge of +1.2 × 10-8 C; sphere 2 has a charge of -3.2 × 10-8 C. Assume that the separation is large enough for us to assume that the charge on each sphere is uniformly distributed (the spheres do not affect each other). With V = 0 at infinity, calculate in volts (a) the potential at the point halfway between their centers and the potential on the surface of (b) sphere 1 and (c) sphere 2.
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 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 Tin 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 , a etc. use pi, alpha. For example to get √AB use 1/pi*A^2/B*sqrt(AB). Please use the exact variables given in the conditions of the problem: e.g 1 if L is given, then do not use 1. For subscripts such as Fe simply write "FC" (without the quotes). Please use…
A small metal bead, labeled A, has a charge of 26 nC . It is touched to metal bead B, initially neutral, so that the two beads share the 26 nC charge, but not necessarily equally. When the two beads are then placed 5.0 cm apart, the force between them is 5.0×10−4 N . Assume that A has a greater charge.What is the charge qA and qB on the beads?
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.
Answer the following problem A stationary block has a charge of +6.0  10-4 C. A 0.80-kg cart with a charge of +4.0  10-4 C is initially at rest and separated by 4.0 m from the block. Calculate the cart’s speed after it is released and moves along a frictionless surface to a distance of 10.0 m from the block.
