- 1. Three identical metallic conducting spheres carry the following charges: 91 = +5.00 μC, q2 = +1.40 µC, and 93 -9.20 μC. The spheres that carry the charges 9₁ and 92 are brought into contact. Then they are separated. After that, one of those two spheres is brought into contact with the third sphere that carries the charge 93; those two are then separated as well.

A hollow, conducting sphere is initially uncharged. A positive charge, +9₁, is placed inside the sphere, as shown in the figure below. Then, a second positive charge, +q2, is placed near the sphere but outside it. Which of the following statements describes the net electric force on each charge? +9₂ A. There is a net electric force on +91 but not on +92. B. Both charges are acted on by a net electric force with the same magnitude and in the same direction. C. Both charges are acted on by a net electric force with the same magnitude but in opposite directions. D. There is a net electric force on +q2 but not on +9₁.arrow_forwardA point charge gives rise to an electric field with magnitude 4 N/C at a distance of 9 m.
