A simple pendulum has a small sphere at its end with mass m and charge q. The pendulums rod has length L and its weight is negligible. The pendulum is placed in a uniform electric field of strength E directed vertically upward. What is the period of oscillation of the sphere if the electric force is less than the gravitational force on the sphere? Assume the oscillations are small. FIGURE P24.63

A We saw in Figure 23.16 that a neutral metal can was attracted to a positively charged glass rod because the rod polarized the can. Lets model this situation in a very rough sense. Suppose a charged sphere C is held near two other charged spheres A and B as shown in Figure P23.62. Lets call the magnitude of the electrostatic force exerted by sphere C on A FA and that on B FB. Derive an expression for the ratio FA/FB. Comment on why a neutral conductor is attracted to a charged object. Figure P23.62
