Two spheres with uniform surface charge density, first with aradius of 7.2 cm and the second with a radius of 5.0 cm, areseparated by a center-to-center distance of 33cm. The spheres havea combined charge of + 55uC and repel one another with a force of0.75 N. Assume q1>q2.

What is the surface charge density on the first sphere?
What is the surface charge density on the second sphere?

There are two identical, positively charged conducting spheres fixed in space. The spheres are 33.2 cm apart (center to center) and repel each other with an electrostatic force of F1 = 0.0765 N. Then, a thin conducting wire connects the spheres, redistributing the charge on each sphere. When the wire is removed the spheres still repel but with a force of F2 = 0.115 N. Using this information, find the initial charge on each sphere, q1 and q2 if initially  

 

Solve q1 and q2



 

Consider two conducting spheres with radii R1 and R2 separated by a distance much greater than either radius. A total charge Q is shared between the spheres. The total charge Q is equal to q1 + q2, where q1 represents the charge on the first sphere and q2 the charge on the second. Because the spheres are very far apart, you can assume the charge of each is uniformly distributed over its surface. Show that the energy associated with a single conducting sphere of radius R and charge q is surrounded by a vacuum is U = keq2/2R.
