A few problems


Here are the problems we did in class today.  I will put a few more on here for Monday.  Use Coulomb's Law.
1.  A balloon rubbed against denim gains a charge of -8.0 μC.  What is the electric force between the balloon and the denim when the 2 are separated by 5.0 cm?
2.Two charges of +60.0 μC and +50.0 μC exert a repulsive force on each other of 175 N.  What is the distance between the two charges?
3.Two identical conducting spheres are placed with their centers 0.30 m apart.  One has a charge of 12 x 10-9C and the other has a charge of -18 x 10-9C.  A)  Find the electric force exerted on one sphere by the other.   B)  If the two spheres are connected by a conducting wire, after the charges have rearranged, find the electric force between the two spheres.

4.  Calculate the net electric force on each charge if the charges 
           are +3.0  μC, +4.0 μC, and -2.0 μC and the positions are at 0.0 cm, 3.0 cm, and 7.0 cm.

5.  Calculate the net electric force on each charge if the charges are -4.5 μC, +7.5 μC, and -6.0 μC.

6.  Draw the electric field lines around 2 point charges:  +2 and -3.

7.  Draw the electric field lines between two charged plates.  Show the direction a test charge (positive) would move in the field.
