Charges of 3.0 µC are located at x = 0.0, y = 2.0 m and at x = 0.0, y = -2.0 m.
Unknown charges, Q, are located at x = 4.0, y = 2.0 m and at x = 4.0, y = -2.0 m. The
electric field at the origin, z = 0.0, y = 0.0 m, is 4.0 x 10³ N/C î (in other words in the r
direction). Determine the unknown charge Q.

- In the future people will only enjoy one sport: Electrodisc. In this sport you gain points when you cause metallic discs hovering on a field to exchange charge. You are an Electrodisc player playing the popular four disc variant. The disks have charges of qA = −8.0 µC, qB = −2.0 µC, qC = +5.0 µC, and qD = +12.0 µC. (a) You bring two disks together and then separate them. You measure the resulting charge of these two disks and find that it is +1.5 µC per disk. Which two disks did you bring together? A and B A and C A and D B and C B and D C and D?(b) You bring three disks together and then separate them. You measure the resulting charge of these three disks and find that it is +5.0 µC per disk. Which three disks did you bring together? A, B, and C A, B, and D A, C, and D B, C, and D (c) Given the resulting charge of each disk measured in (b) is +5.0 µC, how many electrons would you need to add to a disk of this charge to electrically neutralize it?arrow_forwardA small plastic ball of mass 8.19 × 10³ kg and charge +0.116 μC is suspended from an insulating thread and hangs between the plates of a capacitor (see the drawing).
