Chapter 5.2, Problem 3bT
Obtain a wire loop. The Loop represents the boundary of an imaginary flat surface of area A. (In order to allow the nails that represent the field to pass through the surface, you have only been given the boundary of the surface.)
Draw a diagram to show the relative orientation of the loop and the electric field so that the number of field lines that pass through the surface of the loop is:
• the maximum possible.
• the minimum possible.

I am having a hard time starting out this problem. The issue is that there are not any numbers that I could work with. Here is the question ,"Three identical conducting spheres initially have the following chargers:sphere A,4Q; sphere B, -6Q, and sphere C, 0. Spheres And B are fixed in place, with a center- to-center separation that is much larger than the spheres. Two experiments are conducted. In experiment 1, sphere C is touched by A and then ( separately) to sphere B and then it is removed. In experiment 2, starting with the same initial states, the procedure is reversed. What is the ratio of the electrostatic force between A and B at the end of experiment 2 to that at the end of experiment 1?"
I am having a hard time understanding why the solved answer on your site, for the following question, uses x-2 instead of x+2 for the -2q charge. I attached my work for part A as well as where I am confused at. Aren't I just supposed to solve for x at this point? The - seems to be throwing me off. Any explanation you can offer would be appreciated!
Calculate the acceleration of the image charge and how far it moves in the electric field of the image during 1.0 ms? The charge starts moving from rest and the electric field continues infinitely far in every direction. b) In this situation, the charge has an initial speed as shown in the picture. Tell me verbally what the booking's trajectory is after the initial situation. The electric field is infinitely large in size in every direction. c) How far does the charge move in 1.0 ms in the x- and y-axis directions at point b?
