Two small metal spheres A and B have different electric potentials (A has a higher potential). Describe mathematically what happens if you connect them with a wire. Let the charges of the two spheres after connection be q′A and q′B and radiuses be RA and RB.

How does the amount of energy required to hold each proton and neutron in the nucleus compare to the energy released when they are removed?

Point charges q1 = 51 µc and q2 = −27 µc are placed 1.0 m apart, with q2 on the right. what is the force (in n) on a third charge q3 = 19 µc placed midway between q1 and q2? (assume the positive direction is to the right. indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)

The diagram shows a boulder rolling down a hill into a valley and then up the opposite hill. at which position does the boulder have the greatest kinetic energy? a b c d
