A nonconducting sphere has radius R = 2.31 cmand uniformly distributed charge q = +3.50 fC. Take the electric potential at the sphere鈥檚 center to be V = 0 . What is Vat radial distance (a) r = 1.45 cmand (b) r = R. (Hint: See Module 23-6.)
Three particles, charge , , and , are positioned at the vertices of an isosceles triangle as shown in Fig. 24-62. If and , how much work must an external agent do to exchange the positions of (a) and and, instead, (b) and?
Identical charges are fixed on an xaxis at. A particle of chargeis then released from rest at a point on the positive part of the yaxis. Due to the symmetry of the situation, the particle moves along the yaxis and has kinetic energy 1.2 Jas it passes through the point. (a) What is the kinetic energy of the particle as it passes through the origin? (b) At what negative value of ywill the particle momentarily stop?
In Fig. 24-66, point P is at distance from particle 1 and distance from particle 2 , with both particles fixedin place.
