Question
Charge A and charge B are separated by 0.5 m and have a combined charge of
8 μC. Charge B exerts a repulsive force of strength 0.150 N on charge A.
a) What is the magnitude and sign of the charge of each A and B?
b) What is the magnitude and sign of the charge of A and B if they attract
each other instead of repel?
Expert Solution

Step 1
like charges repel each other so they will create repulsive electric force whereas unlike charges attarct each other so they will create repulsive electric force.

- Two identical balls of 29.5 g are suspended from threads of length 1.1 m and carry equal charges as shown in the figure. Each ball is 1.5 cm from the centerline.a) Assume that the angle Θ is so small that its tangent can be replaced by its sine. This is called the small angle approximation and means that for small angles sin(Θ)=tan(Θ). Find the magnitude of charge on one of the balls. b) Now, assume the two balls are losing charge to the air very slowly. That means they'll be slowly approaching each other. If a ball is moving at an instantaneous speed of 2.50E−05 m/s, at what rate is the ball losing charge? Start by writing the speed of the ball and the rate of change of the charge as symbolic derivatives, and then relate those derivatives. Give your answer in Coulombs per second (C/s). Note that because the balls are losing charge so slowly, we can still use our results from the previous part, as the system is almost in equilibrium. Give your answer as a magnitude.arrow_forwardThree charges are placed on a horizontal line. Charges q1 = +7 nC and q2 = -3 nC are fixed in place, with q2 2.0 m to the right of q1.

If q3 can move along the line away from its initial location, is the equilibrium stable or unstable? How did you decide? c. If q3 were were on a vertical line instead, so it could move up and down but not horizontally, would the equilibrium be stable or unstable for that motion? How did you decide? marrow_forwardTwo charged particles are located on the x axis. The first is a charge +Q at x = -a. The second is an unknown charge located at x = +3a.
