4. (a) Asolid sphere of charge, Q
=
2μC with a radius R = 2m is held fixed in space. Point a is located at 12
m from the centre of the sphere and point b at 10m. What is the minimum work that has to be done on
charge q = 1μC in order to bring it from point a to point b in the configuration shown below.
(II) A +35 µc point charge is placed 46 cm from an identical charge +35µ C. How much work would be required to +0.50µ C move a test charge from a point midway between them to a point 12 cm closer to either of the charges?
In Figure (a), we move an electron from an infinite distance to a point at distance R = 5.20 cm from a tiny charged ball. The move requires work W = 1.11 x 10-13 ] by us. (a) What is the charge Q on the ball? In
Figure (b), the ball has been sliced up and the slices spread out so that an equal amount of charge is at the hour positions on a circular clock face of radius R = 5.20 cm. Now the electron is brought from an infinite
distance to the center of the circle. (b) With that addition of the electron to the system of 12 charged particles, what is the change in the electric potential energy of the system?
