Two charges are placed on the x-axis: +3.0 uC at x = 0 and -5.0 uC at x = 40cm. Where must a third charge be
placed f the force it experiences if to be zero?
In deep space two spheres each of radius 5.00 m are connected by a 3.00 × 102 m nonconducting cord. If a uniformly distributed charge of 35.0 μC resides on the surface of each sphere, calculate the tension in the cord.
Two identical conducting small spheres are placed with their centers 0.300 m apart. One is
given a charge of 12.0 nC, and the other is given a charge of −18.0 nC. Find the electric force
exerted on one sphere by the other.
