- 48 In Fig. 21-41, three identical con- ducting spheres form an equilateral tri- angle of side length d= 20.0 cm. The sphere radii are much smaller than d, and the sphere charges are q4 = -2.00 nC, q = -4.00 nC, and qc = +8.00 nC. (a) What is the magnitude of the electro- static force between spheres A and C? The following steps are then taken: A and B are connected by a thin wire and then disconnected; B is grounded by the wire, and the wire is then removed; B and C are connected by the wire and then discon- nected. What now are the magnitudes of the electrostatic force (b) between spheres A and Cand (c) between spheres B and C? C.

- Figure 21-18 shows four situations in which particles of charge +q or -q are fixed in place. In each situation, the particles on the x axis are equidistant from the y axis. First, consider the middle particle in situation 1; the middle particle experiences an electrostatic force from each of the other two particles. (a) Are the magnitudes F of those forces the same or different? (b) Is the magnitude of the net force on the middle particle equal to, greater than, or less than 2F? (c) Do the x components of the two forces add or cancel? (d) Do their y components add or cancel? (e) Is the direction of the net force on the middle particle that of the canceling components or the adding components? (f) What is the direction of that net force? Now consider the remaining situations: What is the direction of the net force on the middle particle in (g) situation 2, (h) situation 3, and (i) situation 4?
