Two metal balls A and B of negligible radius are floating at rest on Space Station Freedom between two metal bulkheads, connected by a taut nonconducting thread of length 2.40 m. Ball A carries charge q, and ball B carries charge 2q. Each ball is 1.40 m away from a bulkhead. (a) If the tension in the string is 2.25 N, what is the magnitude of q? (Ignore any contribution from induced charge in the bulkheads.) μC (b) What happens...
Two metal balls A and B of negligible radius are floating at rest on Space Station Freedom between two metal bulkheads, connected by a taut nonconducting thread of length 2.70 m. Ball A carries charge q, and ball B carries charge 2q. Each ball is 1.16 m away from a bulkhead. (a) If the tension in the string is 2.05 N, what is the magnitude of q? (Ignore any contribution from induced charge in the bulkheads.) Answer in microC
Two metal balls A and B of negligible radius are floating at rest on Space Station Freedom between two metal bulkheads, connected by a taut nonconducting thread of length 3.00 m. Ball A carries charge q, and ball B carries charge 2q. Each ball is 1.76 m away from a bulkhead. (a) If the tension in the string is 2.30 N, what is the magnitude of q? ------------ μC (b) What happens to the system as time passes? Explain.
