Chapter 17, Problem 17P
You have a small metal sphere fixed on an insulating stand and another sphere attached to a plastic handle. You charge one of the spheres and then touch it with the second sphere. Draw a force-versus-time graph for the force that one sphere exerts on the other as you move the sphere on the handle slowly and steadily away from the sphere on the stand. What information do you need in order to determine the magnitudes of the quantities on the graph?
