1) Two spheres of the same mass m are attached to each other by a massless rod of length 2a. The spheres are charged with the same magnitude but opposite in sign. The rod is free to rotate about an axis through the center of the rod and perpendicular to the plane of motion the masses may move in (in other words, the rod can swing like a dumbbell or seesaw, with a total moment of inertia of 2ma?.) A uniform electric field E is applied to the right and the dipole aligns with the field. The dipole is then slightly rotated away from equilibrium and released. Find the period of oscillation of the system. See the diagram below: 2a E 2) A rod of length I lies on the x-axis from-/2 to 1/2.

A particle of mass m and charge q moves at high speed along the x axis. It is initially near x = , and it ends up near x = +. A second charge Q is fixed at the point x = 0, y = d. As the moving charge passes the stationary charge, its x component of velocity does not change appreciably, but it acquires a small velocity in the y direction. Determine the angle through which the moving charge is deflected from the direction of its initial velocity.
A uniformly charged ring of radius R = 25.0 cm carrying a total charge of 15.0 C is placed at the origin and oriented in the yz plane (Fig. P24.54). A 2.00-g particle with charge q = 1.25 C, initially at the origin, is nudged a small distance x along the x axis and released from rest. The particle is confined to move only in the x direction. a. Show that the particle executes simple harmonic motion about the origin. b. What is the frequency of oscillation for the particle? Figure P24.54
Two charges Q1(1+2.00C) and Q2(+2.00C are placed symmetrically along the x-axis at x=3.00cm . Consider a charge Q3 of charge +4.00C and mass 10.0 mg moving along the y-axis. If Q3 starts from rest at y= 2.00 cm, what is its speed when it reaches y = 4.00 cm?
Review. Two identical particles, each having charge +q, are fixed in space and separated by a distance d. A third particle with charge Q is free to move and lies initially at rest on the perpendicular bisector of the two fixed charges a distance x from the midpoint between those charges (Fig. P22.13). (a) Show that if x is small compared with d, the motion of Q is simple harmonic along the perpendicular bisector. (b) Determine the period of that motion. (c) How fast will the charge Q be moving when it is at the midpoint between the two fixed charges if initially it is released at a distance a d from the midpoint? Figure P22.13
Review. Two insulating spheres have radii 0.300 cm and 0.500 cm, masses 0.100 kg and 0.700 kg, and uniformly distributed charges 2.00 C and 3.00 C. They are released from rest when their centers are separated by 1.00 m. (a) How fast will each be moving when they collide? (b) What If? It the spheres were conductors, would the speeds be greater or less than those calculated in part (a)? Explain.
Review. From a large distance away, a particle of mass m1, and positive charge q1 is fired at speed in the positive x direction straight toward a second particle, originally stationary but free to move, with mass m2, and positive charge q2. Both particles are constrained to move only along the x axis. (a) At the instant of closest approach, both particles will be moving at the same velocity. Find this velocity, (b) Find the distance of closest approach. After the interaction, the particles will move far apart again. At this time, find the velocity of (c) the particle of mass m1, and (d) the particle of mass m2.
The charge unit length on the thin shown below is .What is the force on the point charge q? Solve this problem by first considering the electric force dF on q due to a small segment dx of the rod, which contains charge dx . Then, find the net force by integrating dF over the length of the rod.
If two equal charges each of 1 C each are separated in air by a distance of 1 km, what is the magnitude of the force acting between them? You will see that even at a distance as large as 1 km, the repulsive force is substantial because 1 C is a very significant amount of charge.
Two metal spheres of identical mass m = 4.00 g are suspended by light strings 0.500 m in length. The left-hand sphere carries a charge of 0.800 C, and the right-hand sphere carries a charge of 1.50 C. What is the equilibrium separation between the centers of the two spheres?

(d) The same momentum?
Calculate the angular velocity of an electron orbiting a proton in the hydrogen atom, given the radius of the orbit is 0.5301010 m. You may assume that the proton is stationary and the centripetal force is supplied by Coulomb attraction.
The dome of a Van de Graaff generator receives a charge of 2.0 104 C. Find the strength of the electric field (a) inside the dome, (b) at the surface of the dome, assuming it has a radius of 1.0 m, and (c) 4.0 in front the center of the dome. Hint: See Section 15.5 to review properties of conductors in electrostatic equilibrium. Also, note that the points on the surface are outside a spherically symmetric charge distribution; the total charge may be considered to be located at the center of the sphere.
