A positively charged rod touches the wire of the
electroscope and the leaves move apart. Then a negatively charged
rod is brought close (but not touching) to the electroscope and the
leaves move towards each other. Why? Are the leaves
charged?
There is a line of negative charge (-Q) along the y axis (from 0
to L). There is a line of positive charge (+Q) along the x-axis
(from 0 to L).
A) Find the electric field at the point (L/2, L/2). Sketch the
direction of the field at this point on a diagram of the
situation.
B) Find the potential at the point (L/2, L/2).
A rod of length 12 meters and charge .6 mC lies along
the x-axis from (-6, 0) to (6, 0) meters. A charge
of .9 mC is placed at (10, 0) meters. Find

charge density given by λ = κx4

e) 115.35 N
We have a metal rod of length L. The rod is on the x-axis
extending from 0 to L. We select a point X on the rod randomly and
uniformly and cut the rod at X. This gives two smaller rods of
lengths X and L − X. We select the longer piece (if the two pieces
are of equal length we select one of them) and cut it again
randomly and uniformly to get three pieces. What is the...
A ladder of unit length leans against a wall (y-axis) as its
bottom slides
along the ground (x-axis). As the ladder slides from vertical to
horizontal,
one end remains in contact with the wall while the other end
remains in
contact with the ground.
Find :
(1) Derive an algebraic equation describing the trajectory
traced out by
the midpoint of the ladder. What is the shape of the
trajectory?
(2) Derive an algebraic equation for the envelope bounded by the...
Charge Q is uniformly distributed along a thin, flexible rod.
The rod is then bent into a semicircle of radius R.
Find an expression for the electric potential at
the center of the semicircle.
Two uncharged conducting spheres supported by insulated stands
are placed in contact. A positively charged rod is brought close to
one of the spheres on the side opposite from the other sphere.
(a)Describe the induced charges on the spheres, and sketch the
charge distributions on them. (b)The two spheres are moved far away
from each other and then the charged rod is removed. Sketch the
charge distributions on the spheres. (c)Describe what would have
happened if the charged rod had...
A 5.0 kg rod with a length of 2.8 m has an axis of rotation at
its center. Looking at the rod with its axis perpendicular to this
page, a force of 14.5 N at 68o is applied to the rod 1.1
m from the axis of rotation. This torque would angularly accelerate
the rod in a counter-clockwise direction. Assume that the torque
continues to be applied during the motion consider in this problem
and that there are no other...
