Walker, Halliday & Resnick β Electric Potential: Problem 49
49 Two metal spheres, each of radius 3.0 cm, have a center-to-center separation of 2.0 m. Sphere 1 has charge $+1.0 \times 10^{-8}$ C; sphere 2 has charge $-8.0 \times 10^{-8}$ C. Assume that the separation is large enough for us to say that the charge on each sphere is uniformly distributed (the spheres do not affect each other). With $V=0$ at infinity, calculate (a) the potential at the point halfway between the centers and the potential on the surface of (b) sphere 1 and (c) sphere 2.
π Solution Approach
Given: 3.0 cm, 2.0 m
Find: (a) the potential at the point halfway between the centers and t; (b) sphere 1 and; (c) sphere 2
