Solved: The initial charges on the three identical metal

Chapter 21, Problem 65

(choose chapter or problem)

The initial charges on the three identical metal spheres in Fig. 21-23 are the following: sphere A, Q; sphere B, -QI4; and sphere C, Q/2, where Q = 2.00 X 10-14 e. Spheres A and B are fixed in place, with a center-to-center separation of d = 1.20 m, which is much larger than the spheres. Sphere C is touched first to sphere A and then to sphere B and is then removed. What then is the magnitude of the electrostatic force between spheres A and B?
