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

- A thin rod of length L = 1 m lies along the x axis with its left end at the origin. It has a uniform linear charge distribution 2 =-3.2 C/m. How many electrons are there on the rod contributing to the total charge?arrow_forwardLots of things that are electrically neutral overall have one side that's electrically negative and one side positive (a water molecule, for example). We call such things "electric dipoles," and we can model them as pairs of particles of charge + q and -g (where g is a positive number) separated by a distance d. Usually, d is a very small distance. (For water it would be around 10 11 m, thinking of a few protons worth of charge on one end - about 6 x 1019 C - and a few electrons worth at the other.) Furthermore, because of the magic of quantum mechanics, in many molecules it behaves more like a rigid rod than like a soft spring. So we can treat d as a fixed distance. Suppose you have a dipole that's free to move in any way (including rotate - imagine it floating in space). And there's an object with charge Qa distance r away. That distance r would be much larger than d, the distance between the charges of the dipole, so we draw the dipole small. a) Consider the forces between the…arrow_forwardPlease Asaparrow_forward
