A charged particle is held at the center of two concentric conducting spherical shells. Figure (a) shows a cross section. Figure (b) gives the net flux Φ through a Gaussian sphere centered on the particle, as a function of the radius r of the sphere. The scale of the vertical axis is set by Φs = 2.5×105 N⋅m2/C. What are (a) the charge of the central particle and the net charges of (b) shell A and (c) shell B? (a) (b)

Two charged beads are on the plastic ring in Figure (a). Bead 2, which is not shown, is fixed in place on the ring, which has radius R = 62.9 cm. Bead 1 is initially on the x axis at angle θ = 0∘. It is then moved to the opposite side, at angle θ = 180∘, through the first and second quadrants of the xy coordinate system. Figure (b) gives the x component of the net electric field produced at the origin by the two beads as a function of θ, and Figure (c) below gives the y component. The vertical axis scales are set by Exs = 5.70× 104 N/C and Eys = −10.26×104 N/C. (a) At what positive angle θ is bead 2 located? (Note: bead 2 is negative charged). What are the charges of (b) bead 1 and (c) bead 2? (a) (b) (c)

Figure (a) shows an arrangement of three charged particles. Particles A and C are fixed on the x axis, but particle B can be moved along a circle centered on particle A. During the movement, a radial line between A and B makes an angle θ relative to the positive direction of the x axis (see Figure (b)). The curves in Figure (c) below give, for two situations, the magnitude Fnet of the net electrostatic force on particle A due to the other particles. That net force is given as a function of angle θ and as a multiple of a basic amount F0. For example on curve 1, at θ = 180∘, we see that Fnet = 2F0. (a) For the situation corresponding to curve 1, what is the ratio of the charge of particle C to that of particle B (including sign)? (b) For the situation corresponding to curve 2, what is that ratio? Assume d1 = d2 = d = 7.9 m. (a) Number Units (b) Number Units
