As shown in Figure P19.7, a third small, charged bead is free to slide on the rod. (a) At what position x is the third bead in equilibrium? (b) Can the equilibrium be stable?arrow_forwardA 1.75-nC charged particle located at the origin is separated by a distance of 0.0825 m from a 2.88-nC charged particle located farther along the positive x axis. If the 1.75-nC particle is kept fixed at the origin, where along the positive x axis should the 2.88-nC particle be located so that the magnitude of the electrostatic force it experiences is twice as great as it was in Problem 27?arrow_forwardThree identical conducting spheres are fixed along a single line. The middle sphere is equidistant from the other two so that the center-to-center distance between the middle sphere and either of the other two is 0.125 m. Initially, only the middle sphere is charged, with qmiddle = +35.6 nC. The middle sphere is later connected by a conducting wire to the sphere on the left. The wire is removed and then used to connect the middle sphere to the sphere on the right. The wire is again removed. a. C What is the charge on each sphere? b. C Which sphere experiences the greatest electrostatic force? c. N What is the magnitude of that force?arrow_forward
- An electroscope is a device used to measure the (relative) charge on an object (Fig. P23.20). The electroscope consists of two metal rods held in an insulated stand. The bent rod is fixed, and the straight rod is attached to the bent rod by a pivot. The straight rod is free to rotate. When a positively charged object is brought close to the electroscope, the straight movable rod rotates. Explain your answers to these questions: a. Why does the rod rotate in Figure P23.20? b. If the positively charged object is removed, what happens to the electroscope? c. If a negatively charged object replaces the positively charged object in Figure P23.20, what happens to the electroscope? d. If a charged object touches the top of the fixed conducting rod and is then removed, what happens to the electroscope?arrow_forwardA metal sphere with charge +8.00 nC is attached to the left-hand end of a nonconducting rod of length L = 2.00 m.
