<p>A hollow metal sphere of radius R is positively charged. of the following distances from the center of sphere, which location will have greatest electric field strength? answer is 5R/4</p>
<p>two identical conducting spheres are charged to +2q and -Q respectivly, and are separated by a distance D (much greater than the radii of spheres) as shown. the magnitude of the force of attraction on the left sphere is F1. after the two spheres are made to touch and then are reseparated by distance d, the magnitude of the force of the left sphere is F2. which relationship is correct</p>
<p>I'm really confused by the stuff you're posting, and i've seen those questions before. They're from an old exam, 1980 somethin... anyway
Shouldn't you post the choices along with them?</p>
<p>Does anyone have the 1988 exam? Please! I am willing to scan you 2003 Calculus AB & BC. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111111111111111111</p>
<p>can someone explain the F1 and F2 relationship one...? i dont understand that.....well i get that F1 is greater (because of the greater diff in the charges) but after you touch the two spheres..what happens?...they become neutral...some of the charge from the +2Q goes to the -Q...>.<</p>
<p>You're given the charges, and distance doesn't change, so all that matters it the (Q1*Q2) part of the equation.</p>
<p>Before, F1 = (+2)(-1) = -2 --> F1 = 2</p>
<p>When the spheres touch, the charges equalize between the two spheres, so you average the charges:
((+2) + (-1))/2 = 1/2 --> each sphere has a charge of Q/2</p>
<p>Now plug back into the equation for electric force, once again ignoring the distance and the constant:
(1/2)*(1/2) = 1/4 = F2</p>
<p>F2<em>x = F1
1/4</em>x = 2
x = 8
--> F1 = 8F2</p>

<ol>
<li>The operating efficiency of a 0.5A, 120V electric motor that lifts a 9kg mass against gravity at an average velocity of 0.5m/s is most nearly</li>
</ol>
<p>crichesill, your first question with the gravity, i think it is not the diameter, i think by diameter you mean radius because otherwise the problem wouldn't work. For your second question, i would need to see the diagram.</p>
<p>english its diameter. thats not a typo. i think they are trying to confuse us by saying diameter coz u know thers an extra calculation to convert it to radius so i guess its 1/4 radius of earth</p>
