. (II) When an object such as a plastic comb is charged byrubbing it with a cloth, the net charge is typically a fewmicrocoulombs. If that charge is 3.0 µC by what percentagedoes the mass of a 9.0-g comb change during charging?
Do it asap
(II) A large electroscope is made with "leaves" that are
78-cm-long wires with tiny 21-g spheres at the ends. When
charged, nearly all the charge resides on the spheres. If the
wires each make a 26° angle with
the vertical (Fig. 16–55), what
total charge Q must have been
applied to the electroscope?
Ignore the mass of the wires.
