An infinite non-conducting sheet with a uniform surface charge density sets up parallel equipotential surfaces. Any pair of surfaces differing by 25.0 V are separated by 8.80 mm. a What is the magnitude of the surface charge density? b If an electron is released near the sheet, does it tend to move from higher to lower potential or vice versa?

In figure a, we move an electron from an infinite distance to a point at distance R=8.00 cm from a tiny charged ball. The move requires work W=5.32×10-13 J by us. What is the charge Q on the ball? In figure b, the ball has been sliced up and the slices spread out so that an equal amount of charge is at the hour positions, on a circular clock face of radius R=8.00 cm. Now the electron is brought from an infinite distance to the centre of the circle. With that addition of the electron to the system of 12 charged particles, what is the change in the electric potential energy of the system?

Two metal spheres, each of radius 3.0 cm, have a centre-to-centre separation of 2.0 m. Sphere 1 has charge +1.0×10-8 C and sphere 2 has charge -8.0×10-8 C.
