If one attracts the other with a force of 0.525N. (Q1 and Q2 will be 35 and -15 C or -35 and 15 C) Q2 Three +20-C charges are place along straight line, successive charges being 2 m apart.

One charge (+5 C) is placed at x = 0 and a second charge (+ 7 C) at x = 100 cm. Where can a third change be placed and experience zero net force due to the other two? An infinite thin sheet of charge has a uniform surface charge density of 7.2 nC/m2. Charge configurations of this type create uniform electric field on each side of the sheet. Determine the electric field created by this sheet of charge.(E = 4.07 x10 2 Vm 1 ). The electric strength of air is about 3.0 x 106 N/C. If the electric field exceeds this value, sparking will occur. What is the largest charge a 0.50-cm-radius metal sphere can hold if sparking is not occur in the air surrounding it?( Q = 8.34 nC ). A uniform electric field of magnitude 250 N/C makes an angle of 350 with normal to a circular aperture of radius 65 cm. If the aperture lies entirely in the electric field, what is the electric flux through the aperture?( = 270 N m2 /C) A particle of charge 22.4 mC and mass 57.2 mg is initially held at rest in a constant electric field of 133 V/m. If the particle is released and accelerates through a distance of 14.9 m, determine a. the change in potential energy.( U = - 44.4J) b. the change in electrical potential.( V = -1.98 kV) c. its final speed.( v = 1.25 x103 m/s ) A pendulum with a bob of mass 10 g is charged q.
