A large electroscope is made with “leaves” that are long wires with negligible mass with tiny spheres at the end. When charged, nearly all the charge resides in the sphere. If the wires each make a angle with the vertical, what total charge must have been applied to the electroscopes.

What is the main difference between electrical and gravitational forces?

A point charge of +Q is placed at the center of a square. When a second point charge of -Q is placed at one of the square’s corners it is observed that an electrostatic force of 4N acts on the positive charge at the square’s center. Now, identical charges of -Q are placed at the other three corners of the square. What is the magnitude of the net electrostatic force acting on the positive charge at the center of the square?
