A charge is located at What are the electric fields at the position and Write each electric field vector in component form.
The two oppositely charged metal spheres in FIGURE have equal quantities of charge. They are brought into contact with a neutral metal rod. What is the final charge state of each sphere and of the rod? Use both charge diagrams and words to explain.

If you bring your finger near a lightweight, negatively charged hanging ball, the ball swings over toward your finger as shown in FIGURE Q22.12. Use charge diagrams and words to explain this observation.

You have two small, balls that have been given equal but opposite charges, but you don't know the magnitude of the charge. To find out, you place the balls distance apart on a slippery horizontal surface, release them, and use a motion detector to measure the initial acceleration of one of the balls toward the other. After repeating this for several different separation distances, your data are as follows:

Use an appropriate graph of the data to determine the magnitude of the charge.
Linear accelerator uses alternating electric fields to accelerate electrons to close to the speed of light. A small number of the electrons collide with a target, but a large majority pass through the target and impact a beam dump at the end of the accelerator. In one experiment the beam dump measured charge accumulating at a rate of -2.0 nC/s. How many electrons traveled down the accelerator during the 2.0 h run?
