In Fig. 21-20, a central particle of charge 2q is surrounded by a square array of charged particles, separated by either distance d or d/2 along the perimeter of the square. What are the magnitude and direc- tion of the net electrostatic force on the central particle due to the other particles? (Hint: Consideration of symmetry can greatly reduce the amount of work required here.)
Four identical metallic spheres with charges of +9.0 μC, +6.6 µC, -1.8 μC, and -5.2 μC are placed on a piece of paper. The paper is lifted on all corners so that the spheres come into contact with
each other simultaneously. The paper is then flattened so that the metallic spheres become separated.

A spherical metallic object with a hole inside initially holds a net
charge of 94.9 nC; the hole is initially charge-free. Then a particle with
a charge of 26.1 nC is placed at the center of the hole (held by a perfect
non-polarizable insulating material). The value of the net charge on the
outer surface of the conductor, upon reaching electrostatic equilibrium, is
most nearly
(A) –68.8 nC.
(B) –121 nC.
