Two charged spheres X, Y are put in contact with a total charge of +12Q. Another charged sphere, Z, came into contact with X and Y. After electrostatic equilibrium among the three, Y is then separated from both X and Z resulting to the final charge of Y as-6Q.

(i) A metallic sphere A of radius 1.00 cm is several centimeters away from a metallic spherical shell B of radius 2.00 cm. Charge 450 nC is placed on A, with no charge on B or anywhere nearby. Next, the two objects are joined by a long, thin, metallic wire (as shown in Fig. 25.19), and finally the wire is removed. How is the charge shared between A and B? (a) 0 on A. 450 nC on B (b) 90.0 nC on A and 360 nC on B, with equal surface charge densities (c) 150 nC on A and 300 nC on B (d) 225 nC on A and 225 nC on B (e) 450 nC on A and 0 on B (ii) A metallic sphere A of radius 1 cm with charge 450 nC hangs on an insulating thread inside an uncharged thin metallic spherical shell B of radius 2 cm. Next, A is made temporarily to touch the inner surface of B. How is the charge then shared between them? Choose from the same possibilities. Arnold Arons, the only physics teacher yet to have his picture on the cover ol Time magazine, suggested the idea for this question.

Assume the charged objects in Figure OQ23.10 are fixed. Notice that there is no sight line from the location of q2 to the location of q1. If you were at q1, you would be unable to see q2 because it is behind q3. How would you calculate the electric force exerted on the object with charge q1? (a) Find only the force exerted by q2 on charge q1. (b) Find only the force exerted by q3 an charge q1. (c) Add the force that q2 would exert by itself on charge q1 to the force that q3 would exert by itself on charge q1. (d) Add the force that q3 would exert by itself to a certain fraction of the force that q2 would exert by itself. (e) There is no definite way to find the force on charge q1.
