You have built a device that measures the temperature outside and displays it on a dial as a measure of how far away from room temperature outside is. The way the dial works is that a needle with a charged ball on the end is placed between two charged parallel plates. The strength of the uniform electric field between the plates is proportional to the outside temperature. Given that the charged ball on the needle has a charge of −2.4 µC and the needle can be represented as a string with tension 0.350 N, and is at an angle of 22°, consider the following. What is the mass of the object? gWhat is the magnitude of the electric field? N/C

Imagine there are two nested spheres made of different materials: Inner sphere: Made of metal (conductor) with two shells. It has an inner radius of 0.5m, outer radius of 1.5m, and a total negative charge of -1C spread uniformly on its outer surface. Outer sphere: Made of an insulator. It has an inner radius of 2.5m and outer radius of 3m. It carries a positive charge of +2C spread uniformly on its outer surface. Inside these spheres, at the exact center, there's a tiny positive point charge of 0.001C. The question asks: a) How much charge is present on each surface (inner and outer) of the metal sphere? b) What is the electric field strength at different locations (inside and outside the spheres) as you move away from the center? The locations are divided into 5 zones: 1. Inside the inner metal shell (radius less than 0.5m) 2. Between the inner and outer metal shell (radius between 0.5m and 1.5m) 3. Between the metal and insulator shells (radius between 1.5m and 2.5m) 4. Between the…
