3. Two similar tiny balls of mass m hung from a silk threads of length L and carry equal charges q as in the figure below. Assume that e is very small so that we can let tan e be approximately equal to sin e, write an expression in terms of q, L, m, g, x, ɛo for the distance between the two charges if they are in equilibrium.

What is the force on the charge located at x = 8.00 cm in Figure 18.52(a) given that q = 1.00 C?
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.
Using the symmetry of the arrangement, determine the direction of the force on q in the figure below, given that qa=qb=+7.50C and qc = qd = 7.50C. (b) Calculate the magnitude of the force on the charge q, given that the square is 10.0 cm on a side and q = 2.00 C.
Considering Figure 18.46, suppose that qa= qdand qb= qc. First show that q is in static equilibrium. (You may neglect the gravitational force.) Then discuss whether the equilibrium is stable or unstable, noting that this may depend on the signs of the charges and the direction of displacement of q from the center of the square.
Two small silver spheres, each with a mass of 10.0 g, are separated by 1.00 m. Calculate the fraction of the electrons in one sphere that must be transferred to the other to produce an attractive force of 1.00 104 N (about 1 ton) between the spheres. The number of electrons per atom of silver is 47.
The discussion of the electric field between two parallel conducting plates, in this module states that edge effects are less important if the plates are close together. What does close mean? That is, is the actual plate separation crucial, or is the ratio of plate separation to plate area crucial?
Integrated Concepts (a) A 0.140-kg baseball, pitched at 40.0 m/s horizontally and perpendicular to the Earth's horizontal 5.00105T field, has a 100-nC charge on it. What distance is it deflected from its path by the magnetic force, after traveling 30.0 m horizontally? (b) Would you suggest this as a secret technique for a pitcher to throw curve balls?
