Two metal spheres of identical mass m = 4.00 g are suspended by light strings 0.500 m in length. The left-hand sphere carries a charge of 0.800 C, and the right-hand sphere carries a charge of 1.50 C. What is the equilibrium separation between the centers of the two spheres?
Two 25.0-g copper spheres are placed 75.0 cm apart. Each copper atom has 29 electrons, and the molar mass of copper is 63.5463 g/mol. What fraction of the electrons from the first sphere must be transferred to the second sphere for the net electrostatic force between the spheres to equal 100 kN?
a. In Figure 23.8, why are there three plus signs on the red rod and three minus signs on the red cloth? b. Which object in Figure 23.8 has the greatest positive charge? How do you know?
Nobel laureate Richard Feynman (19181088) once said that if two persons stood at arms length from each other and each person had 1% more electrons than protons, the force of repulsion between them would be enough to lift a weight equal to that of the entire Earth. Carry out an order-of-magnitude calculation to substantiate this assertion.

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.
