Metal sphere A of radius 12.0 cm carries 6.00 µC of charge,and metal sphere B of radius 18.0 cm carries -4.00 µC ofcharge. If the two spheres are attached by a very long conductingthread, what is the final distribution of charge on the twospheres?
Two metallic sphere of radius 1 cm and 3 cm respectively are separated by a large distance D,(D»lcm). Initially, the smaller sphere carries a charge Q while the larger one is uncharged. If a thin metallic wire is connected between the two spheres, the ratio of the charges on the smaller sphere to the larger on in equilib- rium will be : [IISc. 2012] (a) 1/3 (b) 1/9 (c) 3 (d) 9
A charged nonconducting rod has a length L of 2.0 m and a cross-sectional area A of 8.0 cm?; it is placed along the positive side of an x axis with one end at the origin. The volume charge density p is the charge per unit volume, with the units of coulomb per cubic meter. a) How many excess electrons are on the rod if the rod's volume charge density pu is uniform with a value of –10 µC/m³? How does that compare to the total number of electrons you would estimate would be in the rod? (By compare, just a ballpark estimate- to within several orders of magnitude, factors of ten). b) What is an expression for the number of excess electrons on the rod if the rod's volume charge is nonuniform and is given instead by pN=ax³ where a is a constant? c) What value of a is necessary for the rod in part b to have the same number of excess electrons as the rod in part a)?
