Consider a charge Q1(1+5.0C) fixed at a site with another charge Q2 (Charge +3.0C , mass 6.0g ) moving in die neighboring space, (a) Evaluate die potential energy of Q2 when it is 4.0 cm from Q1 (b) If Q2 starts from rest from a point 4.0 cm from Q1what will be its speed when it is 8.0 cm from Q1 ? (Note: Q1 is held fixed in its place.)
It the voltage between two points is zero, can a test charge be moved between them with zero net work being done? Can this necessarily be done without exerting a force? Explain.

It is shown in Example 24.7 that the potential at a point P a distance a above one end of a uniformly charged rod of length lying along the x axis is V=keQlln(l+a2+l2a) Use this result to derive an expression for the y component of the electric field at P.
When charged particles are separated by an infinite distance, the electric potential energy of the pair is zero. When the particles are brought close, the electric potential energy of a pair with the same sign is positive, whereas the electric potential energy of a pair with opposite signs is negative. Give a physical explanation of this statement.

Your friend gets really excited by the idea of making a lightning rod or maybe just a sparking toy by connecting two spheres as shown in Figure 7.39, and making R2so small that the electric field is greater than the dielectric strength of air, just from the usual 150 V/m electric field near the surface of the Earth. If R1is 10 cm. how small does R2to be, and does this seem practical? (Hint: recall the calculation for electric field at the surface of a conductor from Gauss's Law.)
