Two identical metallic balls with equal ...

Two identical metallic balls with equal charges are kept 4.5 cm apart. The force between both the balls increases by 10% on giving extra charge of 0.001 `muC` to one of the ball. Calculate the charge on each ball.

To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the initial conditions We have two identical metallic balls, each with an initial charge \( q \), separated by a distance \( d = 4.5 \, \text{cm} = 0.045 \, \text{m} \). The force between them is given by Coulomb's law: \[ F = k \frac{q^2}{d^2} \] ...

A metal ball of radius R = 1.5 cm has a charge q = 10 muC . Find the molecules of the vector fo the resultant force acting on a charge located on one half of the ball.

There is a ball of radius r having uniformly distributed volume charge Q on it and there is a spherical shell of radius r having uniformly distributed surface charge Q on it. The two spheres are far apart. (a) A point charge q is moved slowly from the centre of the shell (through a small hole in it.) to the centre of the ball. Find work done by the external agent in the process. (b) The two spheres are brought closer so that their centers are separated by 4r. Now calculate the amount of work needed in slowly moving a point charge q from the centre of the shell to the centre of the ball. Assume that charge on one ball does not alter the charge distribution of the other. Does your answers in (a) and (b) differ? Why?

Small identical balls with equal charges are fixed at vertices of regular 2009 -gon with side a. At a certain instant, one of the balls is released & a sufficiently long time interval later, the ball adjacent to the first released ball is freed. The kinetic energies of the relased balls are found to differ by K at a sufficiently long distance from the polygon. Determine the charge q of each part.

Two identical balls having like charges and placed at a certain distance apart repel each other with a certain force. They are brought in contact and then moved apart to a distance equal to half their initial separation. The force of repulsion between them increases 4.5 times in comparision with the initial value. The ratio of the initial charges of the balls is
