Question
Charge Q = 5.00 mC is distributed uniformly over the volume
of an insulating sphere that has radius R = 12.0 cm. A small sphere with
charge q = +3.00 mC and mass 6.00 * 10^-5 kg is projected toward the
center of the large sphere from an initial large distance. The large sphere
is held at a fixed position and the small sphere can be treated as a point
charge. What minimum speed must the small sphere have in order to
come within 8.00 cm of the surface of the large sphere?
