- Three charges are situated at corners of a rectangle as in the figure below. How much energy would be expended in moving the 8.0 µC charge to infinity?arrow_forwardThe diagrams below show two uniformly charged spheres. The charge on the right sphere is 3 times as large as the charge on the left sphere. Which force diagram best represents the magnitudes and directions of the electric forces on the two spheres? 1. 2. 3. 4. 1- 5. 1. 1. choice # 5 2. choices #s 1&2 3. choice # 4 4. choice # 3arrow_forwardTwo neutral metal spheres on wood stands are touching. A negatively charged rod is held directlyabove the top of the left sphere, not quite touching it. While the rod is there, the right sphere ismoved so that the spheres no longer touch. Then the rod is withdrawn. Afterward, what is the charge.state of each sphere? Use charge diagrams to explain your answer.arrow_forward
- 6. A rod with a uniform linear charge density A is bent into a half-circle of radius R. A point charge -q is placed at the center of the circle. (The rod and the point charge are each held fixed in place.) b- a) What is the net charge on the half-circle? b) Set up an integral to find the force on the point charge due to the half-circle. (Remember that force is a vector.) c) In which direction does the force point? How can you tell this without doing any calculation? d) Evaluate the integral and find the force on the point charge. It might help to rewrite your vectors in terms of cartesion unit vectors î and ŷ (Some books use i and j for the unit vectors). **arrow_forward1. A glass rod with a charge of -5 nC is brought near to a metal sphere resting upon an insulating stand. The sphere has a net charge of -3 nC. While the rod is kept near the sphere, a grounding wire is briefly connect to the sphere. What is the new, net charge on the sphere? 2. A solid conductor with three, empty internal cavities has a net charge of +19 nC. If a +11 nC charge is teleported into one of the cavities, what are two possible charges that could be teleported into the other cavities (one charge per cavity) such that the conductor has zero net charge on its surface?arrow_forward1. Two 1-C negatively charged objects lie along a line as shown. The x's marked B and D lie along a line that is half way between the two charges. For locations A, B, and C, draw force diagrams for a positive test charge at those locations in the boxes provided. Make sure you get the relative lengths of the force vectors correct. Location A Ax Bx C Ꭰ * E x Location B Location C On the diagram, draw an arrow for each of the five locations marked with an x that shows the direction of the electric field at that location. If the electric field is zero at any location, state that explicitly. Suggestion: use the force diagrams for the test charge, and add the forces using the head-to-tail method.arrow_forward
