Use the on-axis potential of a charged disk from Chapter 25 to find the on-axis electric field of a charged disk
The two metal spheres in Figure Q26.9 are connected by a metal wire with a switch in the middle. Initially the switch is open. Sphere 1, with the larger radius, is given a positive charge. Sphere 2, with the smaller radius, is neutral. Then the switch is closed. Afterward, sphere 1 has charge , is at potential , and the electric field strength at its surface is . The values for sphere 2 are .

a. Is larger than, smaller than, or equal to ? Explain.
b. Is larger than, smaller than, or equal to ? Explain.
c. Is larger than, smaller than, or equal to ? Explain.
An isolated parallel-plate capacitor has of charge. An external force changes the distance between the electrodes until the capacitance is . How much work is done by the external force?
Two metal electrodes are spaced apart and connected by wires to the terminals of a battery.
a. What are the charge on each electrode and the potential difference between them?
The wires are disconnected, and insulated handles are used to pull the plates apart to a new spacing of .
b. What are the charge on each electrode and the potential difference between them?
