(a) Common transparent tape becomes charged when pulled from a dispenser. If one piece is placed above another, the repulsive force can be great enough to support the top piece’s weight. Assuming equal point charges (only an approximation), calculate the magnitude of the charge if electrostatic force is great enough to support the weight of a mg piece of tape held 1.00 cm above another. (b) Discuss whether the magnitude of this charge is consistent with what is typical of static electricity.

a point charge of magnitude 5.00 C is at the origin of a coordinate system, and a charge of 4.00 C is at the point x = 1.00 m. There is a point on the x-axis, at x less than infinity, where the electric field goes to zero. (a) Show by conceptual arguments that this point cannot be located between the charges. (b) Show by conceptual arguments that point cannot be at any location between x = 0 and negative infinity. (c) Show by conceptual arguments that the point must be between x = 1.00 m and x = positive infinity. (d) Use the values given to find the point and show that it is consistent with your conceptual argument.

Using the symmetry of the arrangement, show that the net Coulomb force on the charge q at the center of the square below (Figure 18.46) is zero if the charges on the four corners are exactly equal. Figure 18.46 Four point charges qa, qb, q, and qtd lie on the corners of a square and q is located at its center.
Consider two electric dipoles in empty space. Each dipole has zero net charge. (a) Does an electric force exist between the dipoles; that is, can two objects with zero net charge exert electric forces on each other? (b) If so, is the force one of attraction or of repulsion?
