residual charge qr = 9x10-15 C on outside of the bi-layer, and the same amount of negative
charge on the inside. What is the force in pN (×10-12 N) on a singly-charged positive ion (q

Question 1.
Two conductive spheres have the radius R1 = 0.2 m and R2 = 0.1 m. The
spheres have the charge ql = 6 nC and q2 = -4 nC and are located at a
distance from each other that is much larger than the radius of the spheres.
A conductive wire is inserted between them so that charge can travel from
one sphere to the other. The wire is then removed. How is the charge now
distributed on the two spheres?

- À student observes a demonstration involving an interaction between a neutral metallic sphere suspended from a string and a negatively charged insulating rod. The student makes the following statement: "As the negatively charged rod nears the sphere, it causes the electrons in the sphere to move away from the rod. The side of the sphere nearest Insulating to the rod becomes positively charged while the other side becomes negatively charged. So the sphere will be attracted toward the rod. If they touch, the sphere will swing back since they will both become neutral." Neutral conducting sphere rod What, if anything, is wrong with this statement? If something is wrong, explain the error and how to correct it. If the statement is valid, explain why.arrow_forwardFour identical metallic spheres with charges of +1.4 μC, +1.8 μC, -5.8 μC, and -5.2 μC are placed on a piece of paper.
