Imagine that two charged rods are held together as shown and a charged pith ball is placed at point P.
Predict whether the rod farther from point P would exert an electric force on the pith ball. Explain.
Check your prediction by placing a charged pith bail al point P near two charged rods and then slowly moving one rod away from the other. Describe your observations and discuss with your partners whether your results from this experiment support your prediction.

The charge on the point labeled A is +6.44 nC and on the point labeled A* is -6.44 nC. The x distance is 7.70 cm. What is the angle (in degrees) of the electric field at the position indicated by the dot in the diagram above? Take the point to be the origin and the angle is measured counterclockwise from the horizontal axis away from A.arrow_forwardWrite down the electrostatic force equation and define each letter and symbol in it.

Part A. Where should a third charge, q�, be placed, so that all three charges will be in equilibrium? Express your answer numerically as a multiple of d�. Part B. What should be its magnitude, so that all three charges will be in equilibrium? Express your answer numerically as a multiple of Q�.arrow_forwardA small metal ball with positive charge q and mass m is attached to a very light string, as shown in (Figure 1). A larger metal ball with negative charge −Q is securely held on a plastic rod attached to the ceiling. The distance between the balls' centers is r.
