Consider two identical conducting spheres placed on identical nonconductive mounts. Initially, both spheres have no net charge. Sphere #2 is then connected to a +3000 volt source, acquiring a positive net charge. Sphere #1 is placed near Sphere #2 (without touching it). State the sign of the charge at points a, b, and c. Scath the figures explaining the charge distributions and give detailed explanation. (10 pts)

Two identical conducting spheres, fixed in place, attract each other with an electrostatic force of 0.147 N when their center-to-center separation is 61.1 cm. The spheres are then connected by a thin conducting wire. When the wire is removed, the spheres repel each other with an electrostatic force of 0.0539 N. Of the initial charges on the spheres, with a positive net charge, what was (a) the negative charge on one of them and (b) the positive charge on the other? (Assume the negative charge has smaller magnitude.) (a) Number Units (b) Number Units
