6. Two identical conducting spheres, O and (2, carry equal amounts of charge and are fixed a distance apart large com- pared with their diameters. They repel each other with an electrical force of 88 mN. Suppose now that a third identical sphere 3, having an insulating handle and initially un- charged, is touched first to sphere O, then to sphere 2, and finally removed. Find the force between spheres 1 and (2) now. See Fig. 11. -F (b) (a) D- (d) (c) Problem 6. Figure 11

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.
Calculate the work that must be done on charges brought from infinity to charge a spherical shell of radius R = 0.100 m to a total charge Q = 125 C.
What can you say about two charges q1and q2 if the electric field one-fourth of the way from q1to q2 is zero?
A common demonstration involves charging a rubber balloon, which is an insulator, by rubbing it on your hair and then touching the balloon to a ceiling or wall, which is also an insulator. Because of the electrical attraction between the charged balloon and the neutral wall, the balloon sticks to the wall. Imagine now that we have two infinitely large, flat sheets of insulating material. One is charged, and the other is neutral. If these sheets are brought into contact, does an attractive force exist between them as there was for the balloon and the wall?
Refer 10 Figure 15.20. The charge lowered into the center of the hollow conductor has a magnitude of 5 C.

There are very large numbers of charged particles in most objects. Why, then, don't most objects exhibit static electricity?
If an electric dipole is placed in a uniform electric field, what is the net force on it? Will the same thing necessarily be true if the field is not uniform?
If a point charge is released from rest in a uniform electric field, will it follow a field line? Will it do so if the electric field is not uniform?
