Solved Problems - Electrostatics

This document appears to be lecture slides from a physics class discussing electrostatics and Coulomb's Law. It includes: 1) Examples of how a charged comb can attract and repel small bits of paper due to polarization and charge transfer. 2) Worked problems calculating the electric force between charged spheres and point charges located at different positions. 3) Explanations of attraction and repulsion in situations involving charged and uncharged objects touching and redistribution of charge.

Question

Dr. Mayssa Amin 4/5/2011 3


 A charged comb often attracts small
bits of dry paper that then fly away
when they touch the comb. Explain.

Dr. Mayssa Amin 4/5/2011 4


 When the comb is
nearby, molecules in
the paper are
polarized and the
paper is attracted.

Dr. Mayssa Amin 4/5/2011 5


 During contact,
charge from the
comb is transferred
to the paper by
conduction.
 Then the paper has
the same charge as
the comb, and is
repelled.
