Q16-1. Two uniformly charge spheres are attached to frictionless pucks on an air table. The
charge on sphere 2 is three times the charge on sphere 1. Which force diagram correctly shows
the magnitude and direction of the electrostatic forces on the two spheres?
A)
B)
C)
D)
E)
Answer: D) The forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, by Newton's Third Law,
and by the form of the Coulomb force equation.
Q16-2. A charge +Q is fixed in space. A second charge +q is brought a distance r away. Then
+q charge is removed and another charge +2q is
brought a distance 2r away. Then the +2q charge

Which charge feels the largest force?
2r
A) +q
B) +2q
C) +5q
D)
The two of the charges feel the same size force.
Answer: +5q The force on the +5q is of
magnitude (5/4) kQq/r2.

If a negative test charge is placed at A, it feels a force A) zero. B) to the right
C) to the left.
Answers: The force on the +q is to the left. The E-field at A is to the left. A negative test
charge at A feels a force to the right.
