- A sphere has a net charge of 8.05 nC, and a negatively charged rod has a charge of 6.03 nC. The sphere and rod undergo a process such that 5.00 109 electrons are transferred from the rod to the sphere. What are the charges of the sphere and the rod after this process?arrow_forwardThe fundamental charge is e = 1.60 1019 C. Identify whether each of the following statements is true or false. (a) Its possible to transfer electric charge to an object so that its net electric charge is 7.5 times the fundamental electric charge, e. (b) All protons have a charge of +e. (c) Electrons in a conductor have a charge of e while electrons in an insulator have no charge.arrow_forwardAn electroscope is a device used to measure the (relative) charge on an object (Fig. P23.20). The electroscope consists of two metal rods held in an insulated stand. The bent rod is fixed, and the straight rod is attached to the bent rod by a pivot. The straight rod is free to rotate. When a positively charged object is brought close to the electroscope, the straight movable rod rotates. Explain your answers to these questions: a. Why does the rod rotate in Figure P23.20? b. If the positively charged object is removed, what happens to the electroscope? c. If a negatively charged object replaces the positively charged object in Figure P23.20, what happens to the electroscope? d. If a charged object touches the top of the fixed conducting rod and is then removed, what happens to the electroscope?arrow_forward
- Review. A particle with a charge of 60.0 nC is placed at the center of a nonconducting spherical shell of inner radius 20.0 cm and outer radius 25.0 cm. The spherical shell carries charge with a uniform density of 1.33 C/m3. A proton moves in a circular orbit just outside the spherical shell. Calculate the speed of the proton.arrow_forwardFour balls, each with mass m, are connected by four nonconducting strings to form a square with side a as shown in Figure P25.74. The assembly is placed on a nonconducting. frictionless. horizontal surface. Balls 1 and 2 each have charge q, and balls 3 and 4 are uncharged. After the string connecting halls 1 and 2 is cut, what is the maximum speed of balls 3 and 4?arrow_forwardThis afternoon, you have a physics symposium class, and you are the presenter. You will be presenting a topic to physics majors and faculty. You have been so busy that you have not had time to prepare and you dont even have an idea for a topic. You are frantically reading your physics textbook looking for an idea. In your reading, you have learned that the Earth carries a charge on its surface of about 105 C, which results in electric fields in the atmosphere. This gets you very excited about a new theory. Suppose the Moon also carries a charge on the order of 105 C, with the opposite sign! Maybe the orbit of the Moon around the Earth is due to electrical attraction between the Moon and the Earth! Theres an idea for your symposium presentation! You quickly jot down a few notes and run off to your symposium. While you are speaking, you notice one of the professors doing some calculations on a scrap of paper. Uh-oh! He has just raised his hand with a question. Why are you embarrassed?arrow_forward
- A proton and an alpha particle (charge = 2e, mass = 6.64 1027 kg) are initially at rest, separated by 4.00 1015 m. (a) If they are both released simultaneously, explain why you cant find their velocities at infinity using only conservation of energy. (b) What other conservation law can be applied in this case? (c) Find the speeds of the proton and alpha particle, respectively, at infinity.arrow_forward(a) How strong is the attractive force between a glass rod with a 0.700 C charge and a silk cloth with a 0.600 C charge, which are 12.0 cm apart, using the approximation that they act like point charges? (b) Discuss how the answer to this problem might be affected if the charges are distributed over some area and do not act like point charges.arrow_forwardLightning can be studied with a Van de Graaff generator, which consists of a spherical dome on which charge is continuously deposited by a moving belt. Charge can be added until the electric field at the surface of the dome becomes equal to the dielectric strength of air. Any more charge leaks off in sparks as shown in Figure P25.52. Assume the dome has a diameter of 30.0 cm and is surrounded by dry air with a "breakdown" electric field of 3.00 106 V/m. (a) What is the maximum potential of the dome? (b) What is the maximum charge on the dome?arrow_forward
