Two point charges Q1 and Q2 are 3 m apart, and their total charge is 20 C, determine the magnitud of the charges. a. If one repels the other with a force of 0.075 N.( So the Qs are 5 and 15 C ) b. 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. Calculate the force on the right end.( F = 0.225 + 0.9 = 1.125 N to the right)

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. The electric force, F between q and q1 enables the pendulum bob standstill with an angle of 300 as shown in the diagram below.

The force is attractive, so one of the charge is negative. 9 x109 Q1Q 2 The equation will be 0.525 = 32 2 Q1Q2 = 525 C Substituting for Q2 = 20 Q1, Q1(20 Q1) = 525 Solving quadratic equation, Q12 -20Q1 + 525 = 0 So Q1 and Q2 will be 35 and -15 C or -35 and 15 C.

q1 = 5C

If the test charge q is negative, q1 and q2 will attract q in opposite directions; if it is positive, q1 and q2 will repel q in opposite directions. In either case, the condition for q to experience no net force is that F1 = F2, kq1 q 2 kq1 q 2 = 2 x (1 x) 2 2x2 +10x -5 = 0
