- 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?arrow_forwardFalling raindrops frequently develop electric charges.

Healthy red blood cells are negatively charged, but unhealthy cells (due to the presence of a bacteria, for example) can become positively charged. In the figure, three red blood cells are oriented such that they are located on the corners of an equilateral triangle. The red blood cell charges are A = 1.90 pC, B = 6.50 pC, and C = -4.80 pC. Given these charges, what would the magnitude and direction of the electric field be at cell A? (1 pC = 1 x 10-12 c.) Magnitude- Direction-arrow_forward
