Write an expression for the magnitude of the electric field due to the charge distribution on the conductive plate. b. Write an expression for the horizontal component of the net force acting on the charged sphere in terms of the tension T in the string, the electric field, and the given variables. c. Write an expression for the vertical component of the net force acting on the charged sphere in terms of the tension T in the string and the given variables. d. What is the angle in degrees that the string makes with respect to the vertical?
The drawing shows a small sphere of mass m = 0.34 g that carries a charge of q = 7.5 × 10−10 C. The sphere is attached to one end of a very thin silk string of length L = 5.5 cm. The other end of the string is attached to a large vertical
