(a) Consider a uniformly charged sphere that has radius

Chapter , Problem 93

(choose chapter or problem)

(a) Consider a uniformly charged sphere that has radius and charge and is composed of an incompressible fluid, such as water. If the sphere fissions (splits) into two halves of equal volume and equal charge, and if these halves stabilize into uniformly charged spheres, what is the radius of each? (b) Using the expression for potential energy shown in 91, calculate the change in the total electrostatic potential energy of the charged fluid. Assume that the spheres are separated by a large distance.
