- Answer the followingarrow_forwardA positively charged rod is brought near a neutral conducting metal sphere. Someone then touches the sphere for a few moments, then releases it. The rod is then pulled away from the sphere.

Each ball has a mass of 7.7 × 10-4 kg. Initially the balls are uncharged and hang straight down. They are then given identical positive charges and, as a result, spread apart with an angle of 50° between the threads. Determine (a) the charge on each ball and (b) the tension in the threads.

It is touched to metal bead B, initially neutral, so that the two beads share the 28 nC charge, but not necessarily equally. When the two beads are then placed 5.0 cm apart, the force between them is 4.8x10-4 N. Assume that A has a greater charge. Part A What is the charge qA and qв on the beads?

The spacing between neighboring balls is r. We can arrange the balls in three different ways, as shown in the figure. In each case, the balls are in an isolated region of space very far from anything else. Treat the balls as point charges. +4g -29 -2g 2 || 1 +4q -g +4q (a) Rank the arrangements according to their potential energy, from most positive to most negative. See if you can do this without explicitly calculating the potential energy in each case. (Use only ">" or "=" symbols. Do not include any parentheses around the letters or symbols.)

The remarkable adhesion might be due to static electricity. Gecko feet are covered with microscopic hairs. When these hairs rub against a surface, charges separate, with the hair developing a positive charge and negative charge forming below the surface. There is an attractive force between the separated charges. This is an effective means of adhering to a surface, but it comes at a cost: Two planes of charge are like two charged plates of a capacitor, which takes energy to charge. Doubling the amount of charge on each surface increases the attractive force, but also increases the energy required to separate the charge. Part A By what factor does this energy increase?

- Other than their charges, two conducting spheres are identical. Sphere A has a charge of 2 μC and Sphere B has a charge of 8 µC. The spheres are brought into contact with each other.

Sphere B carries a charge of -5g. Sphere C carries no net charge. Spheres A and B are touched together and then separated. Sphere C is then touched to sphere A and separated from it. Last, sphere C is touched to sphere B and separated from it. For the following questions, express your answers in terms of q. (a) How much charge ends up on sphere C? 0.5 (b) What is the total charge on the three spheres before they are allowed to touch each other? 0.25 (c) What is the total charge on the three spheres after they have touched? 0.375 Additional Materials M eBook JAN 12 tv MacBook Air DII 80 F7 F8 F6 esc F4 F5 F1 F2 F3 * 24 %arrow_forwardYou are given three pith balls. When balls A and B are brought close together (far away from C), the two repel. When A and C are brought close together (far away from B), the two attract.
