The discs are by regulation 1 kg. All discs have the same shape and are made of the same conducting material. In the figure below, disc 1 is held in place, and disc 2 is held stationary 4.1 m from disc 1 by a player. The player then releases disc 2. 10 m. F12 What is the initial magnitude of the acceleration imposed on the second disc? The charge on the first disc is 1.7 mC. The charge on the second disc is 1.7 mC. The charge on the third disc is neutral. m/s² Later, discs 2 and 3 touch and charge is exchanged. How much charge is exchanged once the charges on each disc reach an equilibrium? mC After charge is exchanged, what is the direction of the force on disc 3 due to disc 2?
