Two small balls, each of mass 3.0 g, are attached to silk threads 30 cm long, which are in turn tied to the same point on the ceiling, as shown in the figure. When the balls are given the same charge Q, the threads hang at 0 = 3.0° to the vertical. What is the magnitude of Q?

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.
We wish to calculate the value of eo. Two small metal conducting balls of mass m, each with charge q, are attached to massless strings of length L and suspended from the ceiling. Since the balls are both positively charged, they repel each other, and so at the ceiling the strings make an angle 0 with each other. In terms of m, q, L, 0, and g, what is eo?
Three charges are arranged on x-axis: q1 = - 3 uC is at x = 0 , q2 = + 4 uC is at x=0.20 m and q3 = + 7 uC is at x = 0.35 m . What is the direction of the net force on q1?
The figure below shows two identical small, charged spheres. One of mass 4.3 g is hanging by an insulating thread of length 20.0 cm. The other is held in place and has charge q₁ = -3 -3.1 μC. The thread makes an angle of 18° with the vertical, resulting in the spheres being aligned horizontally, a distance r apart. Determine the charge 92 on the hanging sphere. nC 20.0 cm 18⁰ 91 92 ✈
+3µμC +3μC Charges of 3.0 µC are located at x = 0.0, y = 2.0 m and at x = 0.0, y = -2.0 m. Unknown charges, Q, are located at x = 4.0, y = 2.0 m and at x = 4.0, y = -2.0 m.

Hello! I need some help on this! Consider the arrangement of two fixed point charges, equal in magnitude, shown in the figure. Which of the following statements are correct for the initial motion of a third charge if it is released from rest in the vicinity of the two charges shown?
Yoko has two iron balls. They are both positively charged. Both balls are hanging with weight negligible strings from one hook attached to the ceiling. The strings are the same length. The strings make a 10 degree angle with eachother. The charges carried by each ball is 1.00uC and 9.00uC. With both the iron balls having a mass of 400 grams, figure out the length of the strings. Theta = 10 degrees 1.00 μC 9.00 μC
The figure below shows a small, hollow, plastic ball hanging vertically from a thin, lightweight string. The ball has a mass of 6.30 g and a uniformly distributed charge of q₁ = 30.7 nC. Directly below it is a second ball with the same mass, but a charge of 92 -58.0 nC. (Assume this second ball is fixed in place.) The centers of the two plastic balls are a distance d = 2.00 cm apart. = 91 + 92 (a) What is the tension (in N) in the string? .10174 N Need Help? (b) The string will break if the tension in it exceeds 0.180 N. What is the smallest possible value of d (in cm) before the string breaks? 0.0339 The analysis is the same as in part (a), including the magnitude and direction of the gravitational and electric forces. Note that Coulomb's law depends on the square of the distance d. Use the threshold value of the tension to solve for d. cm Read It
