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. Assume that the separation is large enough for us to say that the charge on each sphere is uniformly distributed (the spheres do not affect each other). With V=0 at infinity, calculate a the potential at the point halfway between the centres and the potential on the surface of b sphere 1 and c sphere 2

A graph of x-component of electric field as a function of x, in a region of space, is shown in the figure. The scale of the vertical axis is set by Exs=10.0 N C-1. The y and z components of electric field are zero in this region. If the electric potential at the origin is 10 Va what is the electric potential at x=2.0 mb what is the greatest positive value of the electric potential for points on the x-axis, for which  0x6.0 m, and (c) for what value of x is the electric potential zero?

The electric field between two large, parallel metal plates is approximately uniform, especially away from the edges where there can be some fringing. Suppose the plate separation is 8.00 cm. If the electric force on an electron placed in the uniform field has a magnitude of 7.90×10-16 N, (a) what is the potential difference between the plates and (b) is the force directed towards the plate with the higher potential or the lower potential?
