A large charge +Q and a small charge q are a short distance apart. How do the electric forces on each charge compare? Is this comparison described by another physical law? (Hint: See Chapter 3.4.)
Compare and contrast the Coulomb force field and the electric field. To do this, make a list of five properties for the Coulomb force field analogous to the five properties listed for electric field lines. Compare each item in your list of Coulomb force field properties with those of the electric field—are they the same or different? (For example, electric field lines cannot cross. Is the same true for Coulomb field lines?)
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.)
Integrated Concepts (a) In Figure 18.59, four equal charges q lie on the corners of a square. A fifth charge Q is on a mass m directly above the center of the square, at a height equal to the length d of one side of the square. Determine the magnitude of q in terms of Q. m, and d, if the Coulomb force is to equal the weight of m. (b) Is this equilibrium stable or unstable? Discuss.
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.

Point charges of 25.0 C and 45.0 (2 are placed 0.500 m apart. (a) At what point along the line between them is the electric field zero? (b) What is the electric field halfway between them?
Many textbooks claim Franklin decided that moving charged particles are positive. How would you correct this claim? Think about these questions in developing your answer: Did Franklins model include particles? What did the terms positive and negative mean to Franklin?
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.
Why do most objects tend to contain nearly equal numbers of positive and negative charges?
