7. A charge, qA, experiences an attractive force of 1.5102 N as a result of a charge, qB, located 2.4 cm away. If qB has a charge of 5.2106 C, what is the charge of qA? (K 9.0109 Nm2/C2) A 1.3106 C B 1.8106 C C 3.1106 C D 7.7106 C Objective: 9.02 Thinking Skill: Evaluating 8. Spheres A and B are located 4.0102 m apart. If sphere A has a charge of 4.0106 C and sphere B has a charge of 2.0106 C, what is the magnitude of the force of sphere B on sphere A? A 4.5101 N B 1.4102 N C 1.7102 N D 1.8102 N Objective: 9.01 Thinking Skill: Applying 9. If sphere B in problem 8 is moved so it is only 2.0102 m from sphere A, how does the force between the charges change? A multiplied by 2 B multiplied by 4 C divided by 2 D divided by 4 Objective: 9.01 Thinking Skill: Applying

10. The diagram shows three charged spheres.

A rAB rAC C B

Sphere A has a charge of 2.0106 C, sphere B has a charge of 3.0106 C, and sphere C has a charge of 4.0106 C. What is the magnitude of the net force on sphere A? (rAB 2.0102 m and rAC 2.0102 m) A 1.4102 N B 1.6102 N C 2.0102 N D 2.3102 N Objective: 9.01 Thinking Skill: Information-gathering 11. An electroscope is negatively charged, with the leaf at an angle of about 45. A rod is slowly brought to (but not touching) the knob of the electroscope and the leaf falls. This suggests that the rod is A uncharged or positively charged. B uncharged or negatively charged. C positively charged. D negatively charged. Objective: 9.02 Thinking Skill: Evaluating
