Initially a glass rod and a piece of silk are neutral. After you rub the silk against the rod, the glass rod has a surplus of 3.33 1011 protons. What is the charge q of the silk?
While walking on a mg, a person frequently becomes charged because of the tubbing between his shoes and the lug. This charge then causes a spark and a slight shock when the person gets close to a metal object. Why are these shocks so much more common on a day?
A water molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms bonded with one oxygen atom. The bond angle between the two hydrogen atoms is 104( (see below). Calculate the net dipole moment of a water molecule that is placed in a uniform, horizontal electric field of magnitude 2.3108N/C . (You are missing some information for solving this problem; you will need to determine what information you need, and look it up.)
Shown below is a small sphere of mass 0.25 g that carries a charge of 9.01010 C. The sphere is attached to one end of a very thin silk string 5.0 cm long. The other end of the suing is attached to a large vertical conducting plate that has a charge density of 30106 C/m2. What is the angle that the string makes with the vertical?

(a) Calculate the number of electrons in a small, electrically neutral silver pin that has a mass of 10.0 g. Silver has 47 electrons per atom, and its molar mass is 107.87 g/mol. (b) Imagine adding electrons to the pin until the negative charge has the very large value 1.00 mC. How many electrons are added for every 109 electrons already present?
A charge of 36.3 nC is transferred to a neutral copper ball of radius 4.35 cm. The ball is not grounded. The excess electrons spread uniformly on the surface of the ball. What is the number density (number of electrons per unit surface area) of excess electrons on the surface of the ball?
Why do electrostatic experiments work so poorly in hunid weather?

Three charges are situated at corners of a rectangle as in Figure P16.13. How much work must an external agent do to move the 8.00-C charge to infinity? Figure P16.13 Problems 13 and 14.
(a) Find the magnitude and direction of the electric field at the position of the 2.00 C charge in Figure P13.13. (b) How would the electric field at that point be affected if the charge there were doubled? Would the magnitude of the electric force be affected?
(i) A metallic sphere A of radius 1.00 cm is several centimeters away from a metallic spherical shell B of radius 2.00 cm. Charge 450 nC is placed on A, with no charge on B or anywhere nearby. Next, the two objects are joined by a long, thin, metallic wire (as shown in Fig. 25.19), and finally the wire is removed. How is the charge shared between A and B? (a) 0 on A. 450 nC on B (b) 90.0 nC on A and 360 nC on B, with equal surface charge densities (c) 150 nC on A and 300 nC on B (d) 225 nC on A and 225 nC on B (e) 450 nC on A and 0 on B (ii) A metallic sphere A of radius 1 cm with charge 450 nC hangs on an insulating thread inside an uncharged thin metallic spherical shell B of radius 2 cm. Next, A is made temporarily to touch the inner surface of B. How is the charge then shared between them? Choose from the same possibilities. Arnold Arons, the only physics teacher yet to have his picture on the cover ol Time magazine, suggested the idea for this question.
