The electrostatic force on a small spher...

The electrostatic force on a small sphere of charge 0.4 µC due to another small sphere of charge –0.8 µC in air is 0.2 N. (a) What is the distance between the two spheres? (b) What is the force on the second sphere due to the first?

A charged metallic sphere A is suspended by a nylon thread. Another charged metallic sphere B held by an insulating handle is brought close to 'A' such that the distance between their centres is 10cm as shown in the figure (a). The resulting repulsion of A is noted (for example, by shining a beam of light and measuring the deflection of its shadow on a screen). Spheres A and B are touched by uncharged spheres C and D respectively as shown in the fig (b). C and D are then removed and B is brought closer to A to a distance of 5.0cm between their centres as shoen in the fig(c). What is the expected repulsion of A on the basis of Coulomb's law? Spheres A and C and spheres B and D have identical sizes. Ignore the sizes of A and B in comparison to the separation between their centres. '(##VPU_HSS_PHY_XII_CO1_E01_005_Q01##)'
