Two identical small charged spheres are a certain distance apart, and each one initially experiences an electrostatic force of magnitude F due to the other. With time, charge gradually leaks off of both spheres

When each of the spheres has lost half its initial charge, the magnitude of the electrostatic force will be A) 1/16 F.
B) 1/8 F.
C) 1/4 F.
D) 1/2 F.

A slide projector needs to focus the image of a 24 mm × 36 mm slide onto a square screen 1.50 m on each side. You want to fill the screen as completely as possible without any of the image falling beyond the screen

Due to space constraints in the projector, the slide must be placed 10.5 cm from the lens. (a) What magnification does the projector produce? (b) How far from the lens should the screen be placed? (c) What focal length projector lens is needed?
