Imagine that you’ve been invited to try out a new hoversuit , and here's how it works: Someone has setup a large flat sheet, many kilometers across, somewhere on the Earth, and they’ve charged the sheetup to a uniform charge density of 3.92 x 10^-6 C. You are issued a special suit that you wear, and it hascontrols on it which allow you to charge the suit up to any number of Coulombs (C), positive or negative,that you might want. The idea is that you can control the amount of electrical repulsion (or attraction)between the suit and the charged sheet below you. Suppose your mass (including the suit) is 81.2 kg.How much charge must you give the suit if you want to fall up , that is, accelerate upward at the samerate that objects normally accelerate downward due to Earth s gravity?7.19E-03 C2.16E-03 C1.01E-02 C1.15E-02C
What is the energy required to bring a point charge ? from very far to a distance ? from the center of an insulating sphere of radius ? with charge ?, assuming uniform charge density and d > R? What if the sphere is replaced with a hollow spherical conductor of charge -Q and radius R, what would the energy required be then? Hint: you don’t have to re-derive the potential due to a charged sphere again.
Imagine that you’ve been invited to try out a new hoversuit , and here's how it works: Someone has setup a large flat sheet, many kilometers across, somewhere on the Earth, and they’ve charged the sheetup to a uniform charge density of 3.85 x 10^-6 C. You are issued a special suit that you wear, and it hascontrols on it which allow you to charge the suit up to any number of Coulombs (C), positive or negative,that you might want. The idea is that you can control the amount of electrical repulsion (or attraction)between the suit and the charged sheet below you. Agan, suppose you were hovering stationary,except now with sheet charge density 3.85 x 10^-6 C and your mass including the suit 66.4 kg.

Imagine that you’ve been invited to try out a new hoversuit , and here's how it works: Someone has setup a large flat sheet, many kilometers across, somewhere on the Earth, and they’ve charged the sheetup to a uniform charge density of 8.45 x 10^-6 C. You are issued a special suit that you wear, and it hascontrols on it which allow you to charge the suit up to any number of Coulombs (C), positive or negative,that you might want. The idea is that you can control the amount of electrical repulsion (or attraction)between the suit and the charged sheet below you. Your mass including the suit is 74.3 kg.
