Two parallel conducting plates are seperated by 1.0 mm and carry equal but opposite charge densities. If the difference between them is 2.0 V, what is the magnitude of the surface charge density on each plate?
Two identical conducting spheres A and B are initially electrically neutral. Sphere A is given a charge of Q. The two spheres are then touched together, allowing charge to distribute evenly, and then separated.
After separation, an external source removes a charge of Q/4 from sphere A. The two spheres are then touched together again and separated.
What is the final charge on each sphere?
Note: Assume the conductors and the interactions are ideal, meaning no loss of charge to the environment.
Two spherical conductors of radius R1 = 3
cm and R2 = 10 cm, initially uncharged,

- A lab technician wishes to model the process by which an airplane allows any charge build-up acquired in flight to leak off. She is aware that planes have needle shaped metal extensions on the wings and tail to accomplish this and that the process works, because the electric field around the needle is much larger than around the body of the plane, causing dielectric breakdown of the air and discharging the plane. Her model consists of two conducting spheres connected by a conducting wire. The sphere representing the plane has a radius of 6.00 m, the sphere representing the tip of the needle has a radius of 2.00 cm, and a total charge of 68.0 µC is placed on the combination.

You may have observed needle-shaped metal extensions on the wing tips and tail of an airplane. Their purpose is to allow charge to leak off before much of it accumulates. The electric field around the needle is much larger than the field around the body of the airplane and can become large enough to produce dielectric breakdown of the air, discharging the airplane. To model this process, assume that two charged spherical conductors are connected by a long conducting wire and a charge of 70.0 μC is placed on the combination. One sphere, representing the body of the airplane, has a radius of 6.00 m, and the other, representing the tip of the needle, has a radius of 2.00 cm.
