Multiple ChoiceA glass rod is rubbed with silk, and a plastic rod is rubbed with wool. Afterward, to which object or objects will the glass rod be attracted?
Multiple ChoiceA ring of charge lies in the xy-plane with its center at the origin. The ring has a radius of 87 cm and a total charge of 130 µC. What is the linear charge density on the ring?
Open QuestionTwo small aluminum spheres, each having mass 0.0250 kg, are separated by 80.0 cm. (a) How many electrons does each sphere contain? (The atomic mass of aluminum is 26.982 g/mol, and its atomic number is 13.)
Open QuestionLightning occurs when there is a flow of electric charge (principally electrons) between the ground and a thundercloud. The maximum rate of charge flow in a lightning bolt is about 20,000 C/s; this lasts for 100 ms or less. How much charge flows between the ground and the cloud in this time? How many electrons flow during this time?
Open QuestionA proton orbits a long charged wire, making 1.0×10^6 revolutions per second. The radius of the orbit is 1.0 cm. What is the wire's linear charge density?
Open QuestionCALC A 12-cm-long thin rod has the nonuniform charge density λ(x)=(2.0 nC/cm)e−|x|/(6.0 cm) , where x is measured from the center of the rod. What is the total charge on the rod?Hint: This exercise requires an integration. Think about how to handle the absolute value sign.
Open QuestionCALC A rod of length L lies along the y-axis with its center at the origin. The rod has a nonuniform linear charge density λ=a|y|, where a is a constant with the units C/m^2.b. Determine the constant a in terms of L and the rod's total charge Q.
Open QuestionA 20-cm-radius ball is uniformly charged to 80 nC. (b) How much charge is enclosed by spheres of radii 5, 10, and 20 cm?
