Electrostatics: Charge and Coulomb's Law — Homework
State whether each scenario involves friction, conduction, or induction before answering.
- 1.Find the force between two point charges of 4x10^-6 C and 6x10^-6 C separated by 0.3 m.
- 2.Two identical 5x10^-6 C charges are 0.2 m apart. Find the force between them.
- 3.Using the charges from the previous problem, find the new force if the distance is tripled to 0.6 m, and state what fraction of the original force this is.
- 4.Explain the difference between charging an object by friction and charging it by induction.
- 5.Describe the balloon-and-hair (or similar) electrostatics demonstration and explain what it shows about how charge transfers between materials.
