Two tiny metal spheres Aand B,massand, have equal positive charge. The spheres are connected by a mass less non-conducting string of length d=1.00 m, which is much greater than the radii of the spheres. (a) What is the electric potential energy of the system? (b) Suppose you cut the string. At that instant, what is the acceleration of each sphere? (c) A long time after you cut the string, what is the speed of each sphere?
Question: In Fig. 24-53, seven charged particles are fixed in place to form a square with an edge length of 4.0 cm. How much work must we do to bring a particle of charge +6Einitially at rest from an infinite distance to the center of the square?

When an electron moves from A to B along an electric field line in Fig. 24-34, the electric field does 3.94 x 10-19 Jof work on it. What are the electric potential differences (a) VB - VA, (b) VC - VA, and (c) VC - VB?

In the quark model of fundamental particles, a proton is composed of three quarks: two 鈥渦p鈥 quarks, each having charge , and one 鈥渄own鈥 quark, having charge . Suppose that the three quarks are equidistant from one another. Take that separation distance to be and calculate the electric potential energy of the system of
(a) only the two up quarks and
(b) all three quarks.
