A plastic rod that has been charged to -15 nC touches a metal sphere. Afterward, the rod’s charge is -10 nC.
a. What kind of charged particle was transferred between the rod and the sphere, and in which direction? That is, did it move from the rod to the sphere or from the sphere to the rod?
b. How many charged particles were transferred?
The nucleus of atom (an isotope of the element xenon with mass ) is in diameter. It has protons and charge
a. What is the electric force on a proton from the surface of the nucleus?
b. What is the proton’s acceleration?
Hint: Treat the spherical nucleus as a point charge
Acharge is at the origin and acharge is at.
a. At what-coordinate could you place a proton so that it would experience no net force?
b. Would the net force be zero for an electron placed at the same position? Explain.
Two positive point charges q and 4q are at x = 0 and x = L, respectively, and free to move. A third charge is placed so that the entire three-charge system is in static equilibrium. What are the magnitude, sign, and x-coordinate of the third charge?
Two small plastic spheres each have a mass of 2.0 g and a charge of -50.0 nC. They are placed 2.0 cm apart (center to center).
a. What is the magnitude of the electric force on each sphere?
b. By what factor is the electric force on a sphere larger than its weight?
