A +1.0 x 10-6 C charge is split into two parts. The parts are then placed 1.0 cm apart. What is the magnitude of the maximum force that the two parts can exert upon each other? Answer:
Two protons in an atomic nucleus are typically separated by a distance of 2 & 10"15 m. The electric repulsion force between the protons is huge, but the attractive nuclear force is even stronger and keeps the nucleus from bursting apart. What is the magnitude of the electric force between two protons separated by 2.00 & 10"15 m?
Two uncharged, conducting spheres are separated by a distance d. When charge −Q is moved from sphere A to sphere B, the Coulomb force between them has magnitude F0. Is the Coulomb force attractive or repulsive? If an additional charge −Q is moved from A to B, and the distance between the centres of the spheres is doubled, what is the ratio of the new Coulomb force to the original Coulomb force?
Permittivity of free space is ke = 8.99x10° N-m²/C². Three charged particles are placed on the 7.00 μC vertices of an equilateral triangle. Two of these particles located at the origin and on the x-axis at a distance 0.500 m from the first one in the positive x direction, have charges q, = 2.00 µC and q2 = -4.00 µC , respectively. \0.500 m The charge of the third object which is above the other two is q3 = 7.00 µC .

Two red blood cells each have a mass of 9.05 x 10-¹4 kg and carry a negative charge spread uniformly over their surfaces. The repulsion arising from the excess charge prevents the cells from clumping together. One cell carries -3.00 pC and the other -2.90 pC, and each cell can be modeled as a sphere 3.75 x 10-6 m in radius. If the red blood cells start very far apart and move directly toward each other with the same speed, what initial speed would each need so that they get close enough to just barely touch? Assume that there is no viscous drag from any of the surrounding liquid. initial speed: What is the maximum acceleration of the cells as they move toward each other and just barely touch? maximum acceleration: m/s m/s²
Two identical conducting spheres, fixed in place, attract each other with an electrostatic force of 0.118 N when their center-to-center separation is 61.5 cm. The spheres are then connected by a thin conducting wire. When the wire is removed, the spheres repel each other with an electrostatic force of 0.0444 N. Of the initial charges on the spheres, with a positive net charge, what was (a) the negative charge on one of them and (b) the positive charge on the other?

Two small spheres have the same mass and volume. One sphere has a charge of 4.00 micro Coulombs, and the other sphere has a charge of -1.00 micro Coulombs. If these two spheres are brought into brief contact with each other and then separated to a distance of 2.00 x 10^-1 metres, what is the electric force between them at this distance?
Rocket observations show that dust particles in Earth’s upper atmosphere are often electrically charged. (a) Find the distance separating two dust particles if each has a charge of +e and the Coulomb force between them has magnitude 1.00 × 10 −14 N. (b) Calculate the mass of one of the dust panicles if this Coulomb force would accelerate it at 4.50 × 10 8 m/s 2 . (In the upper atmosphere, effects from other nearby charges typically result in a small net force and acceleration.)
