AP Physics B › Using Coulomb's Law
An excess charge of is put on an ideal neutral conducting sphere with radius
. What is the Coulomb force this excess charge exerts on a point charge of
that is
from the surface of the sphere?
Charges A and B are placed a distance of from one another. The charge of particle A is
whereas the charge of particle B is
. Charge B experiences an electrostatic force of
from charge A. Similarly, charge A experiences an electrostatic force of
from charge B.
What is the ratio of to
?
