:A balloon has a charge of +1x106 C and is 0.5m away from another balloon, which has a charge of-0.5x10 C. Calculate the amount and type of force (attract or repel) present between the balloons using this equation: (k)(q,)(q2) r2 where F equals the force in newtons and K is a constant equal to 9 x 10° N-m2/C². The units of q1 and q2 are coulombs (C). Distance (radius) is given in meters (m).

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.
Integrated Concepts A 5.00 g charged insulating ball hangs or a 30.0 cm long string in a uniform horizontal electric field as shown in Figure 18.56. Given the charge on the ball is 1,00 C, find the strength of the field.
Sketch the electric field lines in the vicinity of two opposite charges, where the negative charge is three times greater in magnitude than the positive. (See Figure 1S.47 for a similar situation).
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?
Does the uncharged conductor shown below expelience a net electric force?
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.
Which of the following electric field lines are incorrect for point charges? Explain why.
Suppose a woman carries an excess charge. To maintain her charged status can she he standing on just any pair of shoes? How would you discharge her? What are the consequences if she simply walks away?
What is the difference between the law of charges and Columb's law?
Sketch the electric field lines in the vicinity of the conductor in Figure 18.49 given the field was originally uniform and parallel to the object's long axis. Is the resulting field small near the long side of the object?
Rocket observations show that dust particles in Earths upper atmosphere are often electrically charged. (a) Find the distance separating two dust particles if each has a charge of +e and the Coulomb force between them has magnitude 1.00 1014 N. (b) Calculate the mass of one of the dust panicles if this Coulomb force would accelerate it at 4.50 108 m/s2. (In the upper atmosphere, effects from other nearby charges typically result in a small net force and acceleration.)
Two charges +3C and +12C are fixed 1 m apart, with the second one to the right. Find the magnitude and direction of the net force on a 2nC charge when placed at the following locations: (a) halfway between the two (b) half a meter to the left of the +3C charge (c) half a meter above the +12C charge in a direction perpendicular to the line joining the two fixed charges
