A negatively charged rubber rod is brought close to but does not make contact with sphere X. Sphere Y is then brought close to X on the side opposite to the rubber rod.

Explanation: When the negatively charged rod moves close to the sphere X, the negatively charged electrons will be pushed to sphere Y. If X and Y are separated before the rod moves away, those charges will remain on X and Y, so X is positively charged and Y is negatively charged. AP EM 1998 MC 39 40 002 (part 1 of 2) 10.0 points

Charges in a Thundercloud 005 (part 1 of 2) 10.0 points In a thundercloud there may be an electric charge of 40 C near the top of the cloud and −40 C near the bottom of the cloud.

Correct answer: 8.98755 × 105 N. Explanation:

The negative sign indicates that the force is attractive; i.e., the charges are being pulled towards one another. Compare Two Coulomb Forces 007 10.0 points Two charges q1 and q2 are separated by a distance d and exert a force F on each other. What is the new force F ′ , if charge 1 is increased to q1′ = 5 q1 , charge 2 is decreased q2 to q2′ = , and the distance is decreased to 2 d ′ d = ? 2 5 1. F ′ = F 2 2. F ′ = 50 F

Let :

q1 = 40 C , q2 = −40 C , d = 4 km = 4000 m , and k = 8.98755 × 109 N · m2 /C2 .

Considering the two sets of electric charges as point-charges, separated by a distance of 4 km, we can apply Coulomb’s law: q1 q2 F =k 2 r = 8.98755 × 109 N · m2 /C2 (40 C) (−40 C) × (4000 m)2 = −8.98755 × 105 N , with a magnitude of 8.98755 × 105 N . 006 (part 2 of 2) 10.0 points The electrostatic force between the top and the bottom of this thundercloud is

charge (equally if identical). Finally we separate Y and X. The signs of the charge on Y and that on X are both positive. Force Between Electrons 012 10.0 points Two electrons in an atom are separated by 1.7 × 10−10 m, the typical size of an atom. What is the force between them? The Coulomb constant is 9 × 109 N · m2 /C2 . Correct answer: 7.99226 × 10−9 N.

Explanation: When the ball with negative charge is brought nearby, the free charges inside Y and X rearrange themselves. The positive charges are attracted and go to the right (i.e., move to X), leaving negative charges on the left hand side of the system Y Y, i.e., in Y. When we ground Y, electrons flow from the ground to Y (making it neutral), whereas the positive charges in X are still held enthralled by the negative charge on the third ball. We break the ground. Now we remove the third ball with negative charge. The charge on X is redistributed in the system Y Y; i.e., they share the positive

d = 1.7 × 10−10 m and ke = 9 × 109 N · m2 /C2 .
