A point charge Q1 = +6.0 nC is at the point (0.30 m, 0.00 m); a charge Q2 = -1.0 nC is at (0.00 m, 0.10 m),

and a charge Q3 = +5.0 nC is at (0.00 m, 0.00 m). What are the magnitude and direction of the net force exerted on the +5.0-nC charge by the other two charges? (k = 1/4??0 = 9.0 × 109 N ? m2/C2 )

A parallel plate capacitor is connected to a battery and charged to voltage V. Leah says that the charge on the plates will decrease if the distance between the plates is increased while they are still connected to the battery. Gertie says that the charge will remain the same. Which one, if either, is correct, and why?

a. Gertie, because the maximum voltage is determined by the battery. b. Gertie, because the capacitance of the capacitor does not change. c. Leah, because the capacitance decreases when the plate separation is increased. d. Leah, because the capacitance increases when the plate separation is increased. e. Neither, because the charge increases when the plate separation is increased.
