Positively charged conducting spheres fixed in space

Reference no: EM13679216

There are two identical, positively charged conducting spheres fixed in space. The spheres are 48.8 cm apart (center to center) and repel each other with an electrostatic force of F1 = 0.0795 N. Then, a thin conducting wire connects the spheres, redistributing the charge on each sphere. When the wire is removed the spheres still repel but by a force of F2 = 0.100 N. Using this information, discover the initial charge on each sphere, q1 and q2 if initially q1

What is the separation among the two lenses : A collimated laser beam that is 2 mm in diameter is expanded using a pair of positive lenses arranged in a Keplerian telescope configuration, such that the final beam diameter is 10 mm. If the focal length of one lens in the pair is 3 cm, what is the..

Final temperature of puddle once it settled to equilibrium : A 0.5750-kg ice cube at -12.40°C is placed inside a chamber of steam at 365.0°C. Later, you notice that the ice cube has completely melted into a puddle of water. If the chamber initially contained 6.430 moles of steam (water) molecules before the ic..

Mass are acted on with the same magnitude net force : A 10 kg and a 4 kg mass are acted on with the same magnitude net force (which remains constant) for the same period of time. Both masses are at rest before the force is applied. After this time, the 10 kg mass moves with a speed v1 and the 4 kg mass ..

What is the actual separation of the slits : Images of a slit pair and a transparent scale, with centimetre graduations, are projected onto a distant screen. If a length of 2 cm on the scale is magnified to a length of 36.1 cm on the screen, and the separation of the slit centres is magnified t..

Fixed charge does particle obtain before it comes to rest : A positive charge of 5.50 C is fixed in place. From a distance of 3.70 cm a particle of mass 5.60 g and charge +3.10 C is fired by an initial speed of 80.0 m/s directly toward the fixed charge. How close to the fixed charge does the particle obtain b..

Compute the potential difference between the two plates : Two plates of area 7.00×10-3 m2 are separated with a distance of 4.80×10-4 m. If a charge of 3.40×10-8 C is moved from one plate to the other, compute the potential difference (voltage) between the two plates. Suppose that the separation distance is ..
