Excess electrons are placed on a small lead sphere with mass so that its net charge is (a) Find the
number of excess electrons on the sphere. (b) How many excess electrons are there per lead
atom? The atomic number of lead is 82, and its atomic mass is 207 g/mol.

2. Two small spheres spaced apart have equal charge. How many excess electrons must be present
on each sphere if the magnitude of the force of repulsion between them is 4.57X10-21 N?

3. A point charge is placed at each corner of a square with side length a. The charges all have the
same magnitude q. Two of the charges are positive and two are negative, as shown in the Fig.
What is the direction of the net electric field at the center of the square due to the four charges,
and what is its magnitude in terms of q and a?

4. Four identical charges are placed at the corners of a square of side (a) In a free-body diagram,
show all of the forces that act on one of the charges. (b) Find the magnitude and direction of the
total force exerted on one charge by the other three charges.

5. Two point charges q1 and q2 are held in place 4.5 cm apart. Another point charge Q=-1.75 Cof
mass 5.00 g is initially located 3.00 cm from each of these charges
Shown in the figure and released from rest. You observe that the initial acceleration of Q is 324
m/s2 upward, parallel to the line connecting the two point charges. Determine the magnitudes
and sign of q1 and q2.
